ever spoken to oh man oh 54 00:02:39,589 --> 00:02:36,000 yeah well this is from a lady who can't 55 00:02:42,309 --> 00:02:39,599 even use her webcam or 56 00:02:45,350 --> 00:02:42,319 her little web camera i still have a 57 00:02:47,509 --> 00:02:45,360 tracfone so that's where i'm at 58 00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:47,519 but you know david i really wanted to 59 00:02:52,150 --> 00:02:49,680 speak to you because you're one of the 60 00:02:55,509 --> 00:02:52,160 few people that are interested in this 61 00:02:57,430 --> 00:02:55,519 field but you uh when i met you a long 62 00:03:00,550 --> 00:02:57,440 time ago you asked me 63 00:03:03,350 --> 00:03:00,560 if i had my drug druthers what would i 64 00:03:06,070 --> 00:03:03,360 want the ufos to turn out to be 65 00:03:07,990 --> 00:03:06,080 and i remember telling you i really had 66 00:03:10,149 --> 00:03:08,000 you know i could i would like this i 67 00:03:12,630 --> 00:03:10,159 would like that but i really didn't care 68 00:03:13,509 --> 00:03:12,640 as long as one day i found out what they 69 00:03:16,390 --> 00:03:13,519 were 70 00:03:18,550 --> 00:03:16,400 and you agreed with that and i i you are 71 00:03:21,110 --> 00:03:18,560 one of the few people in this field that 72 00:03:23,670 --> 00:03:21,120 i've met that really don't have an angle 73 00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:23,680 you just really attack it and sort of 74 00:03:28,710 --> 00:03:25,760 sort things out and do you find that to 75 00:03:30,789 --> 00:03:28,720 be true about yourself 76 00:03:33,270 --> 00:03:30,799 um 77 00:03:35,110 --> 00:03:33,280 i come at this from a weird place 78 00:03:36,710 --> 00:03:35,120 in that i'm 79 00:03:38,309 --> 00:03:36,720 someone who 80 00:03:42,070 --> 00:03:38,319 in the four years that i did the power 81 00:03:44,309 --> 00:03:42,080 cast 2006 to 2010 82 00:03:46,470 --> 00:03:44,319 uh interestingly enough i sort of got 83 00:03:48,149 --> 00:03:46,480 put in that box of 84 00:03:50,070 --> 00:03:48,159 debunking 85 00:03:51,990 --> 00:03:50,080 because part of what i did on that show 86 00:03:55,509 --> 00:03:52,000 was to take some of the 87 00:03:57,750 --> 00:03:55,519 sort of the holy cows of the 88 00:04:01,030 --> 00:03:57,760 of the field and and take them down just 89 00:04:03,030 --> 00:04:01,040 simply ask relevant logical questions 90 00:04:04,390 --> 00:04:03,040 um so i got put in that box it seems 91 00:04:06,390 --> 00:04:04,400 like everything 92 00:04:09,589 --> 00:04:06,400 that goes on in our culture nowadays is 93 00:04:10,710 --> 00:04:09,599 about this extreme polarization 94 00:04:12,309 --> 00:04:10,720 um 95 00:04:14,550 --> 00:04:12,319 whereas 96 00:04:16,469 --> 00:04:14,560 the reality is that i got into doing the 97 00:04:18,949 --> 00:04:16,479 paracast primarily 98 00:04:21,349 --> 00:04:18,959 because i wanted to have rational 99 00:04:22,710 --> 00:04:21,359 reasonable discussions about the 100 00:04:25,510 --> 00:04:22,720 lifetime 101 00:04:28,070 --> 00:04:25,520 of anomalous experiences that i had that 102 00:04:29,350 --> 00:04:28,080 i i couldn't talk about in mixed company 103 00:04:31,350 --> 00:04:29,360 and i also found i couldn't have 104 00:04:33,350 --> 00:04:31,360 reasonable conversations because 105 00:04:35,270 --> 00:04:33,360 everybody immediately had their 106 00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:35,280 conclusions which they 107 00:04:38,310 --> 00:04:37,120 wanted to sort of force down your throat 108 00:04:40,150 --> 00:04:38,320 when you would talk about so when i 109 00:04:41,430 --> 00:04:40,160 would talk about things people would say 110 00:04:44,870 --> 00:04:41,440 well it's this that or the other thing 111 00:04:47,830 --> 00:04:44,880 and i sort of came to understand that 112 00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:47,840 i walked this very weird middle line 113 00:04:51,350 --> 00:04:49,120 which is that you know i look at 114 00:04:53,350 --> 00:04:51,360 debunkers debunkers 115 00:04:54,469 --> 00:04:53,360 basically assume they make the 116 00:04:55,510 --> 00:04:54,479 assumption 117 00:04:58,150 --> 00:04:55,520 that 118 00:05:00,790 --> 00:04:58,160 everything is prosaic everything 119 00:05:02,310 --> 00:05:00,800 can be explained by science as science 120 00:05:04,150 --> 00:05:02,320 currently stands 121 00:05:06,629 --> 00:05:04,160 and that people who report 122 00:05:08,230 --> 00:05:06,639 having odd experiences are are basically 123 00:05:10,390 --> 00:05:08,240 just making the stuff up or they're 124 00:05:12,390 --> 00:05:10,400 suffering mental disease or 125 00:05:13,510 --> 00:05:12,400 any number of explanations that fall 126 00:05:15,189 --> 00:05:13,520 into the 127 00:05:17,350 --> 00:05:15,199 sort of the the expected and then you 128 00:05:18,870 --> 00:05:17,360 have on the other end of the spectrum 129 00:05:20,629 --> 00:05:18,880 the people who 130 00:05:21,510 --> 00:05:20,639 go by various names you know there's 131 00:05:23,909 --> 00:05:21,520 there's 132 00:05:24,870 --> 00:05:23,919 a term i constantly hear is the woo 133 00:05:25,670 --> 00:05:24,880 people 134 00:05:29,830 --> 00:05:25,680 um 135 00:05:31,990 --> 00:05:29,840 that 136 00:05:34,310 --> 00:05:32,000 they know what's going on with 137 00:05:36,469 --> 00:05:34,320 pick your pick your take your pick of 138 00:05:38,790 --> 00:05:36,479 whatever anomalous thing we're talking 139 00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:38,800 about they know what it is they 140 00:05:41,830 --> 00:05:40,720 understand the motivations of whatever 141 00:05:44,550 --> 00:05:41,840 it is 142 00:05:45,350 --> 00:05:44,560 and for a lot of those people the 143 00:05:49,270 --> 00:05:45,360 the 144 00:05:50,310 --> 00:05:49,280 anomalous is sort of like a proxy 145 00:05:52,150 --> 00:05:50,320 religion 146 00:05:54,150 --> 00:05:52,160 i stand right in the middle in that my 147 00:05:56,390 --> 00:05:54,160 assumption 148 00:05:57,909 --> 00:05:56,400 uh is that the human mind in its current 149 00:06:00,070 --> 00:05:57,919 state of evolution 150 00:06:02,230 --> 00:06:00,080 is not capable of understanding what is 151 00:06:04,150 --> 00:06:02,240 most likely the truth behind a lot of 152 00:06:05,990 --> 00:06:04,160 this stuff 153 00:06:08,070 --> 00:06:06,000 which is not a comfortable place people 154 00:06:10,070 --> 00:06:08,080 want to have answers 155 00:06:12,230 --> 00:06:10,080 they're very uncomfortable 156 00:06:14,950 --> 00:06:12,240 facing the prospect of not having any 157 00:06:17,430 --> 00:06:14,960 kind of answers or even being told even 158 00:06:19,430 --> 00:06:17,440 if you had the answers your brain and 159 00:06:21,590 --> 00:06:19,440 its current state of evolution all of 160 00:06:23,590 --> 00:06:21,600 our brains could not process this 161 00:06:25,590 --> 00:06:23,600 information 162 00:06:27,670 --> 00:06:25,600 well that's something that 163 00:06:29,830 --> 00:06:27,680 i've written about 164 00:06:32,629 --> 00:06:29,840 on my blog that people 165 00:06:35,510 --> 00:06:32,639 don't like the entire idea that 166 00:06:37,670 --> 00:06:35,520 something could be smarter than them and 167 00:06:39,749 --> 00:06:37,680 i don't mean that there isn't somebody 168 00:06:42,790 --> 00:06:39,759 who can do nuclear physics and they 169 00:06:45,110 --> 00:06:42,800 can't but somebody or some being that is 170 00:06:47,990 --> 00:06:45,120 so much smarter than them that that 171 00:06:50,230 --> 00:06:48,000 being looks on them like um you know 172 00:06:51,990 --> 00:06:50,240 like a flea or yeah like we look at an 173 00:06:55,510 --> 00:06:52,000 ant yeah sure 174 00:06:58,309 --> 00:06:55,520 so uh so since we may just simply be lab 175 00:07:00,629 --> 00:06:58,319 rats i'm almost going to jump into this 176 00:07:03,589 --> 00:07:00,639 because this is a question that i have 177 00:07:08,790 --> 00:07:03,599 been asking myself lately 178 00:07:14,070 --> 00:07:08,800 in terms of those persons who have had 179 00:07:17,270 --> 00:07:14,080 legitimate uh contact with an other 180 00:07:18,150 --> 00:07:17,280 and other intelligence outside of our 181 00:07:19,430 --> 00:07:18,160 ken 182 00:07:20,309 --> 00:07:19,440 so to speak 183 00:07:23,749 --> 00:07:20,319 um 184 00:07:27,589 --> 00:07:23,759 what's your position on the thought that 185 00:07:31,270 --> 00:07:27,599 these others might be lying to us versus 186 00:07:34,390 --> 00:07:31,280 the idea that what they tell us we just 187 00:07:35,510 --> 00:07:34,400 simply mis misunderstand 188 00:07:37,029 --> 00:07:35,520 i'm getting the feeling you were 189 00:07:38,230 --> 00:07:37,039 listening to some old power cast 190 00:07:41,110 --> 00:07:38,240 recently 191 00:07:42,469 --> 00:07:41,120 um well that was always that was a sort 192 00:07:45,589 --> 00:07:42,479 of a key 193 00:07:49,270 --> 00:07:45,599 position i took which is to assume 194 00:07:51,430 --> 00:07:49,280 that if you were dealing with an in a 195 00:07:53,270 --> 00:07:51,440 superior intelligence of any sort 196 00:07:54,790 --> 00:07:53,280 there's absolutely no reason to believe 197 00:07:56,869 --> 00:07:54,800 that it would be straightforward and 198 00:07:58,869 --> 00:07:56,879 honest there's every reason to believe 199 00:08:01,510 --> 00:07:58,879 that it would incorporate some level of 200 00:08:03,670 --> 00:08:01,520 deception in order to protect itself in 201 00:08:07,270 --> 00:08:03,680 the same way that humans do 202 00:08:09,510 --> 00:08:07,280 i i don't i i we now know that dogs will 203 00:08:11,189 --> 00:08:09,520 basically play games with each other to 204 00:08:14,469 --> 00:08:11,199 deceive each other 205 00:08:16,469 --> 00:08:14,479 uh i wrote a an essay years ago called 206 00:08:18,390 --> 00:08:16,479 the truth about lies 207 00:08:20,469 --> 00:08:18,400 uh that's floating around online right 208 00:08:22,629 --> 00:08:20,479 which is just about the fact that 209 00:08:24,710 --> 00:08:22,639 it seems i say the fact but it seems 210 00:08:25,510 --> 00:08:24,720 clear to me that humans to some degree 211 00:08:27,909 --> 00:08:25,520 are 212 00:08:30,629 --> 00:08:27,919 addicted to deception it's it's our 213 00:08:32,469 --> 00:08:30,639 default mode of being this is not a 214 00:08:35,190 --> 00:08:32,479 pleasant revelation 215 00:08:36,949 --> 00:08:35,200 um it's something that really kind of uh 216 00:08:38,790 --> 00:08:36,959 it's frustrating and it's it's a little 217 00:08:40,469 --> 00:08:38,800 little sickening in a way because we 218 00:08:41,990 --> 00:08:40,479 like to think all of us like to think 219 00:08:44,230 --> 00:08:42,000 that we are 220 00:08:45,910 --> 00:08:44,240 seeking the truth at all times 221 00:08:46,870 --> 00:08:45,920 i've come to believe that that's not the 222 00:08:47,829 --> 00:08:46,880 case 223 00:08:49,670 --> 00:08:47,839 and so 224 00:08:51,509 --> 00:08:49,680 the idea that if we had a superior 225 00:08:53,350 --> 00:08:51,519 intelligence and dealing dealing with us 226 00:08:56,230 --> 00:08:53,360 directly 227 00:08:57,829 --> 00:08:56,240 that it would be honest and truthful 228 00:08:59,509 --> 00:08:57,839 it wouldn't really be that intelligent 229 00:09:01,590 --> 00:08:59,519 if it was honest and truthful with us 230 00:09:04,949 --> 00:09:01,600 because again i don't know that we could 231 00:09:07,269 --> 00:09:04,959 handle the truth but the things that 232 00:09:08,389 --> 00:09:07,279 that appear to be lies 233 00:09:11,990 --> 00:09:08,399 that 234 00:09:14,550 --> 00:09:12,000 sometimes come out of these 235 00:09:16,630 --> 00:09:14,560 meetings of the mind shall we say 236 00:09:19,670 --> 00:09:16,640 would appear to be things that you don't 237 00:09:21,590 --> 00:09:19,680 necessarily need to lie about 238 00:09:25,190 --> 00:09:21,600 although some of the things like we come 239 00:09:28,150 --> 00:09:25,200 from venus to the to the 240 00:09:30,150 --> 00:09:28,160 to the contactees and and so forth well 241 00:09:32,230 --> 00:09:30,160 that certainly makes some sense that you 242 00:09:35,030 --> 00:09:32,240 know throw them off the throw them off 243 00:09:37,110 --> 00:09:35,040 the uh the scent 244 00:09:39,509 --> 00:09:37,120 well you know are you talking about 245 00:09:42,790 --> 00:09:39,519 abductees or people who say that they're 246 00:09:44,470 --> 00:09:42,800 abductees or i was talking specifically 247 00:09:46,870 --> 00:09:44,480 just i threw in a reference to the 248 00:09:49,430 --> 00:09:46,880 contactee movement where there were a 249 00:09:51,509 --> 00:09:49,440 number of people and the names 250 00:09:54,070 --> 00:09:51,519 sort of elude me at the moment who said 251 00:09:57,269 --> 00:09:54,080 that the okay the others said that they 252 00:09:59,670 --> 00:09:57,279 came from venus yeah and then clearly 253 00:10:02,470 --> 00:09:59,680 you know venus is extraordinarily hot 254 00:10:04,870 --> 00:10:02,480 and it's highly unlikely unless they're 255 00:10:06,630 --> 00:10:04,880 you know sulfur beings or something like 256 00:10:08,790 --> 00:10:06,640 that that they are actually living on 257 00:10:10,790 --> 00:10:08,800 venus those claims came out of a time 258 00:10:13,430 --> 00:10:10,800 when our scientific understanding of the 259 00:10:14,470 --> 00:10:13,440 solar system was compromised compared to 260 00:10:17,430 --> 00:10:14,480 now 261 00:10:19,670 --> 00:10:17,440 um and and it does seem i don't put any 262 00:10:20,949 --> 00:10:19,680 weight into any of that early contact t 263 00:10:23,269 --> 00:10:20,959 stuff at all 264 00:10:24,550 --> 00:10:23,279 to me it's just completely bogus i don't 265 00:10:25,509 --> 00:10:24,560 buy any of it 266 00:10:27,389 --> 00:10:25,519 um 267 00:10:29,750 --> 00:10:27,399 and that's not to say that i don't 268 00:10:32,470 --> 00:10:29,760 strongly suspect that 269 00:10:35,750 --> 00:10:32,480 humans throughout history 270 00:10:37,829 --> 00:10:35,760 have had ex direct interactions with 271 00:10:40,150 --> 00:10:37,839 non-human entities i think that is not 272 00:10:41,190 --> 00:10:40,160 only highly probable i i think that's 273 00:10:43,350 --> 00:10:41,200 indeed 274 00:10:44,310 --> 00:10:43,360 happened and is ongoing 275 00:10:46,470 --> 00:10:44,320 um 276 00:10:48,150 --> 00:10:46,480 but again to try to then come down to 277 00:10:49,430 --> 00:10:48,160 understanding the motivations for these 278 00:10:51,430 --> 00:10:49,440 interactions 279 00:10:52,870 --> 00:10:51,440 i think that is beyond our current level 280 00:10:55,670 --> 00:10:52,880 of understanding 281 00:10:57,829 --> 00:10:55,680 of reality in general 282 00:10:59,670 --> 00:10:57,839 i just i'm i'm 283 00:11:01,990 --> 00:10:59,680 as someone who's really motivated by 284 00:11:04,389 --> 00:11:02,000 understanding science 285 00:11:05,910 --> 00:11:04,399 i'm always fascinated about how much we 286 00:11:07,590 --> 00:11:05,920 don't know 287 00:11:10,069 --> 00:11:07,600 uh about everything pick take your 288 00:11:12,230 --> 00:11:10,079 choice well you know even up until what 289 00:11:14,470 --> 00:11:12,240 was it 20 years ago 290 00:11:16,870 --> 00:11:14,480 most astronomers would tell you well 291 00:11:19,509 --> 00:11:16,880 maybe there are other planets but right 292 00:11:20,790 --> 00:11:19,519 now we have no evidence of that which is 293 00:11:23,110 --> 00:11:20,800 like so 294 00:11:24,790 --> 00:11:23,120 ridiculous a statement even back then 295 00:11:26,630 --> 00:11:24,800 even as a child i said well how could 296 00:11:28,630 --> 00:11:26,640 that be no well they didn't want to go 297 00:11:30,949 --> 00:11:28,640 on a limb they were basically uh they 298 00:11:33,509 --> 00:11:30,959 were practicing sound science they 299 00:11:36,470 --> 00:11:33,519 didn't want to make assumptions 300 00:11:39,350 --> 00:11:36,480 okay but then again i think that's what 301 00:11:41,750 --> 00:11:39,360 keeps uh people who make a living doing 302 00:11:44,630 --> 00:11:41,760 science out of ufology because it is 303 00:11:47,430 --> 00:11:44,640 definitely a career killer i mean nobody 304 00:11:48,470 --> 00:11:47,440 is about that pretty much that's a fact 305 00:11:50,310 --> 00:11:48,480 oh yeah 306 00:11:52,389 --> 00:11:50,320 yeah yeah and i that was my own 307 00:11:54,470 --> 00:11:52,399 experience i found that to be true 308 00:11:56,470 --> 00:11:54,480 and i just uh wrote a response to 309 00:11:59,910 --> 00:11:56,480 somebody on our 310 00:12:02,870 --> 00:11:59,920 website there that the person was sort 311 00:12:03,990 --> 00:12:02,880 of talking about seth shaw stack and how 312 00:12:08,230 --> 00:12:04,000 he has 313 00:12:10,629 --> 00:12:08,240 distanced himself from the ufo field and 314 00:12:13,590 --> 00:12:10,639 while i think that that may be a mistake 315 00:12:16,150 --> 00:12:13,600 on his part i do think that he probably 316 00:12:16,870 --> 00:12:16,160 saw it as a career killer basically and 317 00:12:19,750 --> 00:12:16,880 he 318 00:12:22,790 --> 00:12:19,760 you know needed to distance himself from 319 00:12:26,389 --> 00:12:22,800 what the media portrays people who are 320 00:12:28,870 --> 00:12:26,399 were ufologists as crazy people wearing 321 00:12:31,190 --> 00:12:28,880 uh tinfoil hats you know yeah but that's 322 00:12:32,710 --> 00:12:31,200 shawstack zone making i saw shostak go 323 00:12:35,509 --> 00:12:32,720 on shows where he showed up with little 324 00:12:38,069 --> 00:12:35,519 alien head bubble yeah bobblehead dolls 325 00:12:40,710 --> 00:12:38,079 and he would just basically 326 00:12:43,269 --> 00:12:40,720 he's terrible just making fun of people 327 00:12:45,670 --> 00:12:43,279 uh not engaging in anything i'd call 328 00:12:47,509 --> 00:12:45,680 genuine scientific inquiry 329 00:12:49,509 --> 00:12:47,519 and you know i forget the fella's name 330 00:12:51,590 --> 00:12:49,519 now jeff some i can't think of his last 331 00:12:53,590 --> 00:12:51,600 name but he was the one astronomer that 332 00:12:55,509 --> 00:12:53,600 said look i have to be other planets and 333 00:12:57,030 --> 00:12:55,519 he was the one that found the pegasus 334 00:12:58,949 --> 00:12:57,040 planet and uh 335 00:13:01,590 --> 00:12:58,959 so you would think that some young 336 00:13:03,110 --> 00:13:01,600 person today that would want to make a 337 00:13:05,190 --> 00:13:03,120 name for themselves would say look 338 00:13:07,030 --> 00:13:05,200 there's enough evidence here that 339 00:13:09,670 --> 00:13:07,040 something is going on 340 00:13:12,790 --> 00:13:09,680 but again you know at least with the 341 00:13:15,269 --> 00:13:12,800 planet hunters they had some data some 342 00:13:17,750 --> 00:13:15,279 means of investigating it the problem 343 00:13:20,629 --> 00:13:17,760 with ufos has been stated a gazillion 344 00:13:22,790 --> 00:13:20,639 times is that there's no consistent data 345 00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:22,800 there's no one place you can go to 346 00:13:27,110 --> 00:13:24,480 investigate it's you know if you're 347 00:13:28,790 --> 00:13:27,120 happy and lucky enough to be there with 348 00:13:31,030 --> 00:13:28,800 one of your uh 349 00:13:32,230 --> 00:13:31,040 media cameras then great you get it if 350 00:13:37,430 --> 00:13:32,240 you're not 351 00:13:41,269 --> 00:13:39,430 yeah i don't think lucky is a good word 352 00:13:43,430 --> 00:13:41,279 uh and at this point 353 00:13:45,990 --> 00:13:43,440 we also have to just recognize and 354 00:13:48,629 --> 00:13:46,000 realize and i say this the day after 355 00:13:50,949 --> 00:13:48,639 we're we're recording this the day after 356 00:13:52,710 --> 00:13:50,959 the 25th anniversary of photoshops 357 00:13:54,470 --> 00:13:52,720 released in the market 358 00:13:57,829 --> 00:13:54,480 formally um 359 00:14:00,829 --> 00:13:57,839 at this point in time the uh validity 360 00:14:04,389 --> 00:14:00,839 veracity and usefulness of 361 00:14:06,550 --> 00:14:04,399 specifically still image evidence 362 00:14:09,910 --> 00:14:06,560 is pretty much out the window it's gone 363 00:14:11,110 --> 00:14:09,920 okay um photographic evidence is now so 364 00:14:13,990 --> 00:14:11,120 suspect 365 00:14:15,910 --> 00:14:14,000 uh because usually it it it lacks 366 00:14:17,509 --> 00:14:15,920 context usually it lacks any kind of 367 00:14:18,710 --> 00:14:17,519 triangulation 368 00:14:20,230 --> 00:14:18,720 um 369 00:14:22,310 --> 00:14:20,240 you know when i when i the day that i 370 00:14:24,389 --> 00:14:22,320 see the ufo photograph that's been shot 371 00:14:25,910 --> 00:14:24,399 by three separate people on their cell 372 00:14:27,670 --> 00:14:25,920 phones from three 373 00:14:30,949 --> 00:14:27,680 different positions 374 00:14:32,629 --> 00:14:30,959 that shows consistency three people who 375 00:14:35,189 --> 00:14:32,639 are willing to go on there on the record 376 00:14:37,030 --> 00:14:35,199 with their real names prove who they are 377 00:14:40,389 --> 00:14:37,040 um 378 00:14:41,269 --> 00:14:40,399 deliver uh uh images that 379 00:14:42,870 --> 00:14:41,279 uh 380 00:14:44,710 --> 00:14:42,880 clearly are not hoaxed that are 381 00:14:46,550 --> 00:14:44,720 legitimate that have the right kind of 382 00:14:48,470 --> 00:14:46,560 data in them to suggest that they're 383 00:14:51,509 --> 00:14:48,480 legitimate and so let's say you had 384 00:14:53,750 --> 00:14:51,519 those photos let's say you had that 385 00:14:55,670 --> 00:14:53,760 witness testimony okay 386 00:14:56,949 --> 00:14:55,680 let me tell you what you wouldn't have 387 00:14:59,030 --> 00:14:56,959 you wouldn't have any kind of 388 00:15:01,110 --> 00:14:59,040 information about the sourcing of let's 389 00:15:02,710 --> 00:15:01,120 say it's a ufo right you wouldn't know 390 00:15:03,990 --> 00:15:02,720 where the ufo came from you wouldn't 391 00:15:05,910 --> 00:15:04,000 know what it was made of you wouldn't 392 00:15:08,389 --> 00:15:05,920 know what was in it you wouldn't know 393 00:15:10,150 --> 00:15:08,399 what it was doing here um 394 00:15:12,230 --> 00:15:10,160 you pretty much know nothing except that 395 00:15:14,790 --> 00:15:12,240 there's some anomalous thing in the sky 396 00:15:16,389 --> 00:15:14,800 that has now been corroborated exactly 397 00:15:18,949 --> 00:15:16,399 so it's not like 398 00:15:20,470 --> 00:15:18,959 even like the discovery of other planets 399 00:15:22,150 --> 00:15:20,480 is not is not the same thing as the 400 00:15:24,150 --> 00:15:22,160 discovery of life on other planets 401 00:15:26,150 --> 00:15:24,160 because it's still there and other 402 00:15:28,870 --> 00:15:26,160 people can go back and verify the 403 00:15:31,990 --> 00:15:28,880 original investigation and that you 404 00:15:34,470 --> 00:15:32,000 don't have it's just maddening i find 405 00:15:36,230 --> 00:15:34,480 well and and that suggests to me i mean 406 00:15:37,509 --> 00:15:36,240 and this is something i've come to 407 00:15:39,189 --> 00:15:37,519 believe 408 00:15:40,949 --> 00:15:39,199 and i and i use the word belief when i 409 00:15:42,710 --> 00:15:40,959 emphasize it because 410 00:15:44,710 --> 00:15:42,720 the thing about beliefs is that you you 411 00:15:46,949 --> 00:15:44,720 can believe anything 412 00:15:48,389 --> 00:15:46,959 um on a personal level you don't even 413 00:15:50,389 --> 00:15:48,399 need to prove things to yourself you can 414 00:15:51,670 --> 00:15:50,399 simply believe them based on 415 00:15:53,509 --> 00:15:51,680 free will 416 00:15:55,990 --> 00:15:53,519 um so belief to me is kind of a 417 00:15:57,670 --> 00:15:56,000 problematic word it always has been 418 00:16:00,389 --> 00:15:57,680 um 419 00:16:05,189 --> 00:16:01,749 you know coming back that round to my 420 00:16:06,710 --> 00:16:05,199 original statement i want to make um 421 00:16:08,790 --> 00:16:06,720 in the end 422 00:16:10,230 --> 00:16:08,800 you can believe whatever you want and 423 00:16:11,829 --> 00:16:10,240 and and what was i going to say i was 424 00:16:13,509 --> 00:16:11,839 going to say something i believe and 425 00:16:15,430 --> 00:16:13,519 then i went off on a tangent to to 426 00:16:17,189 --> 00:16:15,440 discuss the context of the word belief i 427 00:16:19,990 --> 00:16:17,199 do that a lot by the way 428 00:16:21,350 --> 00:16:20,000 i have a very clean mind yeah 429 00:16:23,269 --> 00:16:21,360 it's not getting better as i get any 430 00:16:26,550 --> 00:16:23,279 older well i think we're talking about 431 00:16:29,430 --> 00:16:26,560 investigating science and being able to 432 00:16:32,629 --> 00:16:29,440 recapitulate an original discovery or 433 00:16:35,990 --> 00:16:32,639 investigation or goldilocks planets uh 434 00:16:37,910 --> 00:16:36,000 not necessarily having life yeah well 435 00:16:40,310 --> 00:16:37,920 and then then again oh they have life i 436 00:16:42,710 --> 00:16:40,320 mean you know dna i'm sure is universal 437 00:16:43,990 --> 00:16:42,720 to me and again okay here's the i'm not 438 00:16:46,389 --> 00:16:44,000 saying but you see you use the word 439 00:16:47,910 --> 00:16:46,399 you're sure i know i let me take that 440 00:16:50,150 --> 00:16:47,920 back i stopped right away if you'll 441 00:16:51,430 --> 00:16:50,160 notice 442 00:16:53,509 --> 00:16:51,440 but 443 00:16:55,990 --> 00:16:53,519 anyway that would be an aspect that i 444 00:16:57,110 --> 00:16:56,000 would definitely follow through with 445 00:16:59,350 --> 00:16:57,120 very good 446 00:17:00,389 --> 00:16:59,360 hope that it would bear fruit 447 00:17:02,790 --> 00:17:00,399 in other words there are some 448 00:17:05,270 --> 00:17:02,800 investigations like into ufos that you 449 00:17:07,189 --> 00:17:05,280 do as a pastime because to put a lot of 450 00:17:09,189 --> 00:17:07,199 time and money into it 451 00:17:12,230 --> 00:17:09,199 probably the payout is going to be zero 452 00:17:14,549 --> 00:17:12,240 by the time you hit the big one 453 00:17:18,150 --> 00:17:14,559 but something like investigating dna 454 00:17:20,150 --> 00:17:18,160 yeah i think that's possibility and um 455 00:17:22,549 --> 00:17:20,160 of course i don't know but that's that 456 00:17:24,309 --> 00:17:22,559 would be my belief that that would be a 457 00:17:27,350 --> 00:17:24,319 potentially fruitful line of 458 00:17:28,630 --> 00:17:27,360 investigation right whereas ufos again 459 00:17:30,710 --> 00:17:28,640 it just 460 00:17:33,350 --> 00:17:30,720 i would love to investigate them more 461 00:17:35,350 --> 00:17:33,360 closely but after a long time 462 00:17:37,990 --> 00:17:35,360 spending time in this field i think i've 463 00:17:39,830 --> 00:17:38,000 sort of given up hope a little bit so 464 00:17:41,270 --> 00:17:39,840 so here's the here's the problem with 465 00:17:42,710 --> 00:17:41,280 all of this right 466 00:17:44,230 --> 00:17:42,720 um 467 00:17:46,310 --> 00:17:44,240 in order to get someone who's going to 468 00:17:47,909 --> 00:17:46,320 be able to approach the topic of ufos in 469 00:17:49,909 --> 00:17:47,919 a level-headed way 470 00:17:51,510 --> 00:17:49,919 it's my belief that a 471 00:17:53,510 --> 00:17:51,520 you have to deal with somebody who's had 472 00:17:55,190 --> 00:17:53,520 a personal experience 473 00:17:58,070 --> 00:17:55,200 if not then you have people who 474 00:18:00,549 --> 00:17:58,080 basically are are thrilled 475 00:18:02,310 --> 00:18:00,559 or thrilled chasers uh you have people 476 00:18:04,470 --> 00:18:02,320 who and they come to it with their own 477 00:18:06,150 --> 00:18:04,480 preconceived set of notions for a lot of 478 00:18:08,470 --> 00:18:06,160 these people it's either become a proxy 479 00:18:09,830 --> 00:18:08,480 religion or just become another pastime 480 00:18:11,830 --> 00:18:09,840 it's just a hobby it's something they do 481 00:18:14,950 --> 00:18:11,840 for fun they like the thrill of it they 482 00:18:16,710 --> 00:18:14,960 like the unknown and oh that's fine um 483 00:18:19,029 --> 00:18:16,720 but that person is going to approach all 484 00:18:22,150 --> 00:18:19,039 of this with a very different level of 485 00:18:24,150 --> 00:18:22,160 vested interest in getting to 486 00:18:25,669 --> 00:18:24,160 my old tagline on the paracast was 487 00:18:28,310 --> 00:18:25,679 trying to separate the signal from the 488 00:18:30,549 --> 00:18:28,320 noise there's there's a ton of noise and 489 00:18:32,470 --> 00:18:30,559 in order to cut through the noise to get 490 00:18:34,470 --> 00:18:32,480 signal one has to have 491 00:18:36,710 --> 00:18:34,480 sort of a a certain type of i believe 492 00:18:39,190 --> 00:18:36,720 motivation which is about finding 493 00:18:40,710 --> 00:18:39,200 personal truth so right somebody doesn't 494 00:18:42,390 --> 00:18:40,720 have an anomalous let's say somebody who 495 00:18:43,909 --> 00:18:42,400 gets interested in ufos has never seen 496 00:18:45,669 --> 00:18:43,919 one 497 00:18:46,870 --> 00:18:45,679 it's fine from an entertainment point of 498 00:18:49,350 --> 00:18:46,880 view but 499 00:18:52,470 --> 00:18:49,360 i believe that that person does not have 500 00:18:55,750 --> 00:18:52,480 the kind of internal motivation that's 501 00:18:56,870 --> 00:18:55,760 going to lead them down things that are 502 00:18:58,230 --> 00:18:56,880 truthful it's going to lead them to 503 00:18:59,430 --> 00:18:58,240 things that are interesting maybe 504 00:19:02,070 --> 00:18:59,440 compelling 505 00:19:03,430 --> 00:19:02,080 uh maybe mystifying maybe a little scary 506 00:19:05,430 --> 00:19:03,440 because people like being scared that's 507 00:19:07,830 --> 00:19:05,440 why horror movies do so well 508 00:19:09,990 --> 00:19:07,840 um so now you have to have somebody you 509 00:19:11,990 --> 00:19:10,000 have to try to get somebody who's had an 510 00:19:14,390 --> 00:19:12,000 experience and what i can tell you from 511 00:19:16,710 --> 00:19:14,400 that is that when people have what i 512 00:19:18,549 --> 00:19:16,720 would consider to be genuine anomalous 513 00:19:21,750 --> 00:19:18,559 experiences 514 00:19:22,710 --> 00:19:21,760 it tends to damage them yes 515 00:19:24,630 --> 00:19:22,720 and so 516 00:19:26,310 --> 00:19:24,640 right and i've seen doing the power cast 517 00:19:28,310 --> 00:19:26,320 for four years i talked to some number 518 00:19:29,110 --> 00:19:28,320 of people over those four years 519 00:19:31,110 --> 00:19:29,120 who 520 00:19:33,430 --> 00:19:31,120 had had like one anomalous experience 521 00:19:35,350 --> 00:19:33,440 when they were kids and it screwed them 522 00:19:37,430 --> 00:19:35,360 up for the rest of their lives 523 00:19:40,390 --> 00:19:37,440 it basically really distorted their 524 00:19:41,430 --> 00:19:40,400 world view in many ways and so those 525 00:19:44,710 --> 00:19:41,440 people 526 00:19:46,630 --> 00:19:44,720 also the the idea of true objectivity 527 00:19:48,950 --> 00:19:46,640 and scientific clarity you're not going 528 00:19:50,789 --> 00:19:48,960 to find in most of those people because 529 00:19:52,710 --> 00:19:50,799 they've had this experience it's sort of 530 00:19:53,909 --> 00:19:52,720 the equivalent of a personal religious 531 00:19:55,270 --> 00:19:53,919 experience 532 00:19:57,029 --> 00:19:55,280 and so now they're looking to either 533 00:19:59,909 --> 00:19:57,039 recreate the experience because they 534 00:20:02,230 --> 00:19:59,919 want that thrill that that endorphin 535 00:20:04,230 --> 00:20:02,240 rush to the mind that happens when your 536 00:20:05,750 --> 00:20:04,240 brain sees something 537 00:20:08,150 --> 00:20:05,760 your eyes see something that your brain 538 00:20:09,430 --> 00:20:08,160 tells you cannot be there and yet your 539 00:20:11,510 --> 00:20:09,440 eyes are seeing it and then you have 540 00:20:13,270 --> 00:20:11,520 corroborating people standing next to 541 00:20:14,950 --> 00:20:13,280 you going i see that too 542 00:20:17,590 --> 00:20:14,960 um then you know it's 543 00:20:20,230 --> 00:20:17,600 this idea that there are consensual 544 00:20:22,470 --> 00:20:20,240 sort of mass hallucinations is very 545 00:20:24,070 --> 00:20:22,480 problematic it's very very rare if it's 546 00:20:25,990 --> 00:20:24,080 if it's happened at all it's kind of 547 00:20:27,669 --> 00:20:26,000 ludicrous actually well a little 548 00:20:29,350 --> 00:20:27,679 ludicrous i i think there are certain 549 00:20:30,950 --> 00:20:29,360 situations where you could possibly draw 550 00:20:32,870 --> 00:20:30,960 the potential of something like that 551 00:20:35,029 --> 00:20:32,880 happening but the idea that that happens 552 00:20:38,710 --> 00:20:35,039 on any kind of regular basis 553 00:20:39,990 --> 00:20:38,720 is sort of nonsensical david yes um 554 00:20:41,430 --> 00:20:40,000 i've had 555 00:20:44,230 --> 00:20:41,440 the uh 556 00:20:45,430 --> 00:20:44,240 experience of having people 557 00:20:46,830 --> 00:20:45,440 tell me 558 00:20:48,789 --> 00:20:46,840 that 559 00:20:51,110 --> 00:20:48,799 the raw 560 00:20:54,149 --> 00:20:51,120 biological terror 561 00:20:56,870 --> 00:20:54,159 that i have felt and i know that other 562 00:20:59,750 --> 00:20:56,880 experiences have felt 563 00:21:02,789 --> 00:20:59,760 is just fear and it can be conquered and 564 00:21:05,110 --> 00:21:02,799 when somebody says that to me i know 565 00:21:07,830 --> 00:21:05,120 they've never had that experience yeah 566 00:21:10,549 --> 00:21:07,840 because it has it's not it has nothing 567 00:21:12,630 --> 00:21:10,559 to do with your psychology and that 568 00:21:14,549 --> 00:21:12,640 you're fearing something happening 569 00:21:15,350 --> 00:21:14,559 because the onset 570 00:21:19,990 --> 00:21:15,360 is 571 00:21:22,710 --> 00:21:20,000 fear but 572 00:21:25,590 --> 00:21:22,720 like a raw biological terror well that's 573 00:21:27,350 --> 00:21:25,600 old programming in our brains it's that 574 00:21:28,950 --> 00:21:27,360 what i think is often referred to as the 575 00:21:31,430 --> 00:21:28,960 lizard brain 576 00:21:34,470 --> 00:21:31,440 uh you know it's it's the idea that you 577 00:21:36,149 --> 00:21:34,480 can use logic to conquer fear i have 578 00:21:37,750 --> 00:21:36,159 some problems with that especially when 579 00:21:38,549 --> 00:21:37,760 you're when you're witnessing something 580 00:21:39,669 --> 00:21:38,559 that 581 00:21:41,110 --> 00:21:39,679 again 582 00:21:42,950 --> 00:21:41,120 your brain 583 00:21:44,950 --> 00:21:42,960 is saying to your eyes there's there's 584 00:21:46,950 --> 00:21:44,960 just no way this is happening 585 00:21:49,430 --> 00:21:46,960 and and i discussed on the paracast 586 00:21:51,350 --> 00:21:49,440 publicly one particular episode 587 00:21:54,149 --> 00:21:51,360 uh involving a very old friend of mine 588 00:21:56,789 --> 00:21:54,159 in florida where we saw this 589 00:21:59,029 --> 00:21:56,799 really weird uh 590 00:22:01,430 --> 00:21:59,039 apparition of some sorts we interacted 591 00:22:03,510 --> 00:22:01,440 with it at close proximity 592 00:22:06,230 --> 00:22:03,520 and we watched this thing dematerialize 593 00:22:07,830 --> 00:22:06,240 we watched it would look like a human 594 00:22:09,669 --> 00:22:07,840 could you give us a little bit of 595 00:22:11,029 --> 00:22:09,679 background about that story that sounds 596 00:22:12,710 --> 00:22:11,039 really interesting 597 00:22:15,110 --> 00:22:12,720 it's um 598 00:22:16,390 --> 00:22:15,120 it's kind of a a drawn out story but the 599 00:22:18,070 --> 00:22:16,400 long and short of it is that an old 600 00:22:19,190 --> 00:22:18,080 friend of mine and myself in southern 601 00:22:21,350 --> 00:22:19,200 florida 602 00:22:22,549 --> 00:22:21,360 we're hanging out one day and we see 603 00:22:23,909 --> 00:22:22,559 this 604 00:22:25,990 --> 00:22:23,919 very odd 605 00:22:28,870 --> 00:22:26,000 apparition that looked like a human 606 00:22:31,510 --> 00:22:28,880 female sort of gliding across 607 00:22:34,310 --> 00:22:31,520 this walkway in this in this uh center 608 00:22:35,909 --> 00:22:34,320 part of a condo complex wow 609 00:22:37,669 --> 00:22:35,919 um 610 00:22:39,110 --> 00:22:37,679 and the thing that really and to this 611 00:22:40,390 --> 00:22:39,120 day this this happened a number of years 612 00:22:42,070 --> 00:22:40,400 ago and i still 613 00:22:43,430 --> 00:22:42,080 and just thinking about it my skin gets 614 00:22:44,390 --> 00:22:43,440 a little weird 615 00:22:46,549 --> 00:22:44,400 um 616 00:22:47,750 --> 00:22:46,559 well because the thing that immediately 617 00:22:49,590 --> 00:22:47,760 right well there were a couple of things 618 00:22:51,110 --> 00:22:49,600 that registered as completely off when 619 00:22:52,870 --> 00:22:51,120 we saw this thing 620 00:22:54,549 --> 00:22:52,880 which is that her legs were moving at 621 00:22:56,310 --> 00:22:54,559 one speed her body was moving much 622 00:22:58,789 --> 00:22:56,320 faster than the legs were moving 623 00:23:00,710 --> 00:22:58,799 so that was already you know visually 624 00:23:03,190 --> 00:23:00,720 especially as i'm i mean part of what i 625 00:23:05,909 --> 00:23:03,200 do in my life is i do animation 626 00:23:08,070 --> 00:23:05,919 and so i am intimately familiar with the 627 00:23:09,190 --> 00:23:08,080 idea of creating convincing motion and 628 00:23:10,630 --> 00:23:09,200 animation 629 00:23:13,270 --> 00:23:10,640 and when you're seeing something in the 630 00:23:15,270 --> 00:23:13,280 real world where the sink is off 631 00:23:17,990 --> 00:23:15,280 uh where again the legs are kind of 632 00:23:20,390 --> 00:23:18,000 moving slowly but the the the thing the 633 00:23:21,990 --> 00:23:20,400 legs are attached to is moving quickly 634 00:23:23,830 --> 00:23:22,000 immediately your brain goes oh no no 635 00:23:25,270 --> 00:23:23,840 that's 636 00:23:27,029 --> 00:23:25,280 something wrong there but then the thing 637 00:23:28,789 --> 00:23:27,039 that really stood out about this 638 00:23:29,830 --> 00:23:28,799 whatever it was 639 00:23:30,710 --> 00:23:29,840 was that 640 00:23:32,549 --> 00:23:30,720 where 641 00:23:33,830 --> 00:23:32,559 this was this happened outside in 642 00:23:36,870 --> 00:23:33,840 daylight 643 00:23:39,909 --> 00:23:36,880 uh where its eyes and its mouth were 644 00:23:42,630 --> 00:23:39,919 there was nothing it was just blackness 645 00:23:44,630 --> 00:23:42,640 there were no eyes there was no mouth 646 00:23:46,950 --> 00:23:44,640 and in the end this thing went and sort 647 00:23:49,190 --> 00:23:46,960 of seemed to sit down 648 00:23:51,350 --> 00:23:49,200 in this seating area 649 00:23:52,789 --> 00:23:51,360 and i dragged my friend out to get close 650 00:23:54,950 --> 00:23:52,799 to this thing we end up sitting like i 651 00:23:56,710 --> 00:23:54,960 don't know 15 feet away from it and 652 00:23:57,830 --> 00:23:56,720 we're both like what the hell is going 653 00:23:59,909 --> 00:23:57,840 on here and 654 00:24:01,510 --> 00:23:59,919 you know it was this fine balance this 655 00:24:04,070 --> 00:24:01,520 this balancing act of being really 656 00:24:07,270 --> 00:24:04,080 really scared but also really really 657 00:24:09,909 --> 00:24:07,280 fascinated like what is going on here 658 00:24:12,230 --> 00:24:09,919 and for me it was not my first anomalous 659 00:24:14,070 --> 00:24:12,240 experience by long shot 660 00:24:18,789 --> 00:24:14,080 so 661 00:24:19,909 --> 00:24:18,799 dealing with things that were really 662 00:24:21,190 --> 00:24:19,919 weird 663 00:24:23,350 --> 00:24:21,200 um 664 00:24:25,269 --> 00:24:23,360 and and the long and short of it is then 665 00:24:27,029 --> 00:24:25,279 this thing got up after a certain amount 666 00:24:29,110 --> 00:24:27,039 of time it got up and started drifting 667 00:24:32,390 --> 00:24:29,120 away and we watched it sort of 668 00:24:35,110 --> 00:24:32,400 dematerialize right into thin air 669 00:24:36,630 --> 00:24:35,120 now i don't know what this thing was 670 00:24:38,310 --> 00:24:36,640 like i can 671 00:24:40,630 --> 00:24:38,320 and and there's a episode of the 672 00:24:41,750 --> 00:24:40,640 paracast where my friend came on the 673 00:24:44,789 --> 00:24:41,760 show and 674 00:24:47,830 --> 00:24:44,799 identified himself by his real name wow 675 00:24:50,070 --> 00:24:47,840 uh and we we we we talked about this and 676 00:24:53,110 --> 00:24:50,080 we went through a large amount of detail 677 00:24:55,029 --> 00:24:53,120 which interestingly enough uh 678 00:24:57,110 --> 00:24:55,039 after that episode aired there were some 679 00:24:59,269 --> 00:24:57,120 people who said oh 680 00:25:00,549 --> 00:24:59,279 too much information way too much detail 681 00:25:02,950 --> 00:25:00,559 he could have made the story a lot 682 00:25:04,789 --> 00:25:02,960 shorter why should you well that's 683 00:25:07,029 --> 00:25:04,799 exactly that's clearly not somebody 684 00:25:09,510 --> 00:25:07,039 who's a researcher talking because it's 685 00:25:12,870 --> 00:25:09,520 like with too much detail huh 686 00:25:15,590 --> 00:25:12,880 um but but that's part of the reality of 687 00:25:16,390 --> 00:25:15,600 today's internet age there's an internet 688 00:25:17,590 --> 00:25:16,400 uh 689 00:25:19,190 --> 00:25:17,600 acronym 690 00:25:22,549 --> 00:25:19,200 tl 691 00:25:24,950 --> 00:25:22,559 colon dr which stands for too long 692 00:25:26,549 --> 00:25:24,960 didn't read oh and 693 00:25:28,710 --> 00:25:26,559 right it's like the standard response if 694 00:25:30,390 --> 00:25:28,720 somebody is on an online forum and 695 00:25:32,630 --> 00:25:30,400 somebody posts a long thing someone will 696 00:25:34,870 --> 00:25:32,640 put that little line up and then give 697 00:25:37,350 --> 00:25:34,880 their opinion which qualifies their 698 00:25:38,630 --> 00:25:37,360 opinion basically being useless 699 00:25:40,710 --> 00:25:38,640 um 700 00:25:43,430 --> 00:25:40,720 so so it was interesting in that some of 701 00:25:45,269 --> 00:25:43,440 the people who responded when my friend 702 00:25:46,950 --> 00:25:45,279 bill and i talked about that they were 703 00:25:48,630 --> 00:25:46,960 saying well you know they try to drag 704 00:25:50,470 --> 00:25:48,640 the story out and it's like well we're 705 00:25:52,149 --> 00:25:50,480 trying to give you guys all the details 706 00:25:54,870 --> 00:25:52,159 and information 707 00:25:56,390 --> 00:25:54,880 because maybe somebody can make use of 708 00:25:57,430 --> 00:25:56,400 that to help us figure out what the heck 709 00:26:01,269 --> 00:25:57,440 we saw 710 00:26:02,470 --> 00:26:01,279 so here's my my overall point about this 711 00:26:04,549 --> 00:26:02,480 um 712 00:26:05,909 --> 00:26:04,559 is that i've never made any 713 00:26:08,830 --> 00:26:05,919 sort of statement about what i thought 714 00:26:11,990 --> 00:26:08,840 this was i had some feelings that i 715 00:26:14,549 --> 00:26:12,000 might have shared about what i felt at 716 00:26:16,230 --> 00:26:14,559 the time seeing this but to say it's a 717 00:26:18,390 --> 00:26:16,240 ghost it was some 718 00:26:20,789 --> 00:26:18,400 it was a girl and she was dressed like 719 00:26:23,110 --> 00:26:20,799 in kind of 70s garb 720 00:26:25,430 --> 00:26:23,120 and this happened in the in the 90s so 721 00:26:27,669 --> 00:26:25,440 it was like well gee um 722 00:26:30,390 --> 00:26:27,679 you know maybe maybe it was a ghost i 723 00:26:31,830 --> 00:26:30,400 don't know what a ghost even is 724 00:26:33,750 --> 00:26:31,840 was it an apparition it was an 725 00:26:35,269 --> 00:26:33,760 apparition it de-materialized it looked 726 00:26:37,750 --> 00:26:35,279 human it didn't have eyes didn't have a 727 00:26:41,510 --> 00:26:39,590 that's what i know i don't know what it 728 00:26:43,510 --> 00:26:41,520 is i don't know where it came from i 729 00:26:45,190 --> 00:26:43,520 certainly don't know where it went 730 00:26:47,510 --> 00:26:45,200 um 731 00:26:49,190 --> 00:26:47,520 and i don't try to draw any conclusions 732 00:26:51,350 --> 00:26:49,200 about it because that's the part that's 733 00:26:53,830 --> 00:26:51,360 the step where i think people 734 00:26:55,909 --> 00:26:53,840 really impose their human insecurities 735 00:26:57,590 --> 00:26:55,919 on things and it's just about 736 00:26:59,590 --> 00:26:57,600 we want to be in control every human 737 00:27:01,430 --> 00:26:59,600 wants to be in control we want to be in 738 00:27:02,390 --> 00:27:01,440 control of our reality and as far as we 739 00:27:04,390 --> 00:27:02,400 can be 740 00:27:06,230 --> 00:27:04,400 and we don't want big questions 741 00:27:08,470 --> 00:27:06,240 unanswered questions hanging in front of 742 00:27:10,789 --> 00:27:08,480 us especially when it involves direct 743 00:27:12,630 --> 00:27:10,799 sensory experience 744 00:27:14,950 --> 00:27:12,640 we want to be able to to know what it is 745 00:27:16,549 --> 00:27:14,960 that happened so 746 00:27:19,110 --> 00:27:16,559 for me 747 00:27:21,110 --> 00:27:19,120 uh uh i look at that and i think 748 00:27:23,990 --> 00:27:21,120 to me it's it's a stand out experience 749 00:27:26,310 --> 00:27:24,000 but it's one of so many that i've had 750 00:27:28,390 --> 00:27:26,320 that quite frankly i've sort of lost 751 00:27:31,669 --> 00:27:28,400 track of all the things i've experienced 752 00:27:33,590 --> 00:27:31,679 yes yes i i can understand that have 753 00:27:36,789 --> 00:27:33,600 what has been 754 00:27:38,070 --> 00:27:36,799 the latest experience you may have 755 00:27:40,149 --> 00:27:38,080 had 756 00:27:42,070 --> 00:27:40,159 david 757 00:27:44,070 --> 00:27:42,080 that you would like to share that is oh 758 00:27:45,750 --> 00:27:44,080 i'm thinking i'm thinking what what 759 00:27:47,750 --> 00:27:45,760 you're thinking i you know it's 760 00:27:50,310 --> 00:27:47,760 interesting that ferusa is indeed a 761 00:27:52,470 --> 00:27:50,320 psychic and um can pick up things that i 762 00:27:55,430 --> 00:27:52,480 cannot i mean i'm about as far from 763 00:27:58,870 --> 00:27:55,440 being psychic as you get i'm pretty sure 764 00:28:02,389 --> 00:27:58,880 and uh i she and i have often speculated 765 00:28:03,909 --> 00:28:02,399 that it's sort of like uh and you might 766 00:28:06,310 --> 00:28:03,919 add to this too 767 00:28:07,830 --> 00:28:06,320 it's like the antenna like different 768 00:28:09,110 --> 00:28:07,840 people have can pick up different 769 00:28:11,590 --> 00:28:09,120 frequencies 770 00:28:13,269 --> 00:28:11,600 and when someone like yourself tells me 771 00:28:14,630 --> 00:28:13,279 that you've had a lot of anomalous 772 00:28:16,710 --> 00:28:14,640 experiences 773 00:28:19,350 --> 00:28:16,720 i sort of think that your 774 00:28:22,470 --> 00:28:19,360 antenna is more finely tuned than mine 775 00:28:24,310 --> 00:28:22,480 because i i haven't seen anything like a 776 00:28:25,990 --> 00:28:24,320 team well actually i did actually i've 777 00:28:28,389 --> 00:28:26,000 seen a lot of things 778 00:28:32,630 --> 00:28:28,399 yeah actually i did now comes yeah i saw 779 00:28:35,029 --> 00:28:32,640 this huge black caped figure of a some 780 00:28:37,750 --> 00:28:35,039 male figure that was just enormous with 781 00:28:40,070 --> 00:28:37,760 his arms crossed staring at me and 782 00:28:41,990 --> 00:28:40,080 i went ooh 783 00:28:44,630 --> 00:28:42,000 and he said don't worry i'm here to 784 00:28:47,830 --> 00:28:44,640 protect you and i said good to know and 785 00:28:50,149 --> 00:28:47,840 then it disappeared so i guess i have 786 00:28:52,710 --> 00:28:50,159 had some but you know not nowhere near 787 00:28:55,830 --> 00:28:52,720 the amount that uh varusha has had and 788 00:28:59,510 --> 00:28:55,840 that you seem to have had and uh what 789 00:29:01,909 --> 00:28:59,520 since you are in media and technology 790 00:29:03,909 --> 00:29:01,919 do you think that there's any 791 00:29:06,230 --> 00:29:03,919 whilst you're perusing what your latest 792 00:29:08,630 --> 00:29:06,240 experience would be well the thing is 793 00:29:10,149 --> 00:29:08,640 i'm hesitant to share experiences where 794 00:29:12,389 --> 00:29:10,159 i don't have 795 00:29:13,750 --> 00:29:12,399 corroborating witnesses oh that's okay 796 00:29:15,430 --> 00:29:13,760 we'll believe you 797 00:29:17,510 --> 00:29:15,440 well i wouldn't want you to actually i 798 00:29:19,830 --> 00:29:17,520 would i would hope you wouldn't no i 799 00:29:21,669 --> 00:29:19,840 wouldn't no i'm being serious well so 800 00:29:24,870 --> 00:29:21,679 why come on we'd love to

it's even 813 00:29:54,789 --> 00:29:52,720 a lot more affordable than brooklyn um 814 00:29:56,549 --> 00:29:54,799 which is just anyway okay we're not 815 00:29:58,070 --> 00:29:56,559 gonna go down

00:30:22,070 --> 00:30:20,000 i start to question my own senses 826 00:30:23,830 --> 00:30:22,080 and and and this is the this is this is 827 00:30:27,110 --> 00:30:23,840 where you can start to really lose it 828 00:30:29,990 --> 00:30:27,120 with this stuff yes um by basically just 829 00:30:32,389 --> 00:30:30,000 pondering it too much too much 830 00:30:34,389 --> 00:30:32,399 self ins

948 00:35:09,750 --> 00:35:07,359 occurred yeah it was 2006 november of 949 00:35:10,710 --> 00:35:09,760 2006 november 7th 950 00:35:12,470 --> 00:35:10,720 um 951 00:35:13,750 --> 00:35:12,480 where uh there 952 00:35:16,870 --> 00:35:13,760 reportedly 953 00:35:18,790 --> 00:35:16,880 a number of people had seen a craft a 954 00:35:21,030 --> 00:35:18,800 circular disc shaped craft hovering 955 00:35:23,910 --> 00:35:21,040 above i believe it was the sea terminal 956 00:35:27,109 --> 00:35:23,920 at o'hare airport um 957 00:35:29,589 --> 00:35:27,119 it had been seen by supposedly uh 958 00:35:32,069 --> 00:35:29,599 crew on the ground united crew it had 959 00:35:32,950 --> 00:35:32,079 been seen supposedly by a pilot 960 00:35:34,790 --> 00:35:32,960 um 961 00:35:37,030 --> 00:35:34,800 some people who were at the airport had 962 00:35:38,390 --> 00:35:37,040 seen this thing it was hovering in the 963 00:35:40,390 --> 00:35:38,400 sky 964 00:35:41,430 --> 00:35:40,400 over this terminal for i think like 20 965 00:35:43,670 --> 00:35:41,440 minutes 966 00:35:44,470 --> 00:35:43,680 and then it basically it was an overcast 967 00:35:46,630 --> 00:35:44,480 day 968 00:35:48,790 --> 00:35:46,640 the thing shot straight up into the air 969 00:35:51,109 --> 00:35:48,800 so quickly and without any sound 970 00:35:53,190 --> 00:35:51,119 which is very interesting um 971 00:35:55,430 --> 00:35:53,200 it shot up so fast that it like left 972 00:35:57,109 --> 00:35:55,440 this hole in the cloud cover where 973 00:35:58,630 --> 00:35:57,119 people could see for just a few minutes 974 00:36:00,710 --> 00:35:58,640 or whatever the blue sky is showing 975 00:36:01,829 --> 00:36:00,720 through on the other side of the clouds 976 00:36:04,150 --> 00:36:01,839 um 977 00:36:05,270 --> 00:36:04,160 united tried to squelch this uh this 978 00:36:08,069 --> 00:36:05,280 episode 979 00:36:11,030 --> 00:36:08,079 um and there's been a lot of uh press 980 00:36:12,630 --> 00:36:11,040 coverage it was i believe john helkovic 981 00:36:13,990 --> 00:36:12,640 forget the guys the reporter's name at 982 00:36:15,990 --> 00:36:14,000 the um 983 00:36:17,109 --> 00:36:16,000 at the uh the [\h__\h] was it the chicago 984 00:36:18,310 --> 00:36:17,119 tribune 985 00:36:20,069 --> 00:36:18,320 uh 986 00:36:22,870 --> 00:36:20,079 who had written this thing up i believe 987 00:36:24,870 --> 00:36:22,880 it was the january after it happened 988 00:36:28,230 --> 00:36:24,880 um and it created a huge amount of 989 00:36:31,190 --> 00:36:28,240 interest and narcap being primarily 990 00:36:32,550 --> 00:36:31,200 interested in ufo phenomena that deal 991 00:36:38,950 --> 00:36:32,560 with 992 00:36:41,430 --> 00:36:38,960 they got on it and 993 00:36:43,829 --> 00:36:41,440 my involvement dealt with some image 994 00:36:46,630 --> 00:36:43,839 analysis with some 995 00:36:49,750 --> 00:36:46,640 uh with a particular image that surfaced 996 00:36:51,510 --> 00:36:49,760 that was supposedly supposed to be 997 00:36:53,829 --> 00:36:51,520 an image that was shot 998 00:36:55,430 --> 00:36:53,839 potentially by a pilot who saw this 999 00:36:59,430 --> 00:36:55,440 thing through the airplane 1000 00:37:06,470 --> 00:37:02,069 and myself and a former research partner 1001 00:37:09,670 --> 00:37:07,990 we took a look at this and we came up 1002 00:37:11,270 --> 00:37:09,680 with some interesting conclusions about 1003 00:37:13,589 --> 00:37:11,280 this image 1004 00:37:15,349 --> 00:37:13,599 but specifically primarily focusing on 1005 00:37:16,550 --> 00:37:15,359 my contention that the image had been 1006 00:37:20,870 --> 00:37:16,560 tampered with 1007 00:37:23,109 --> 00:37:20,880 way that seemed to indicate some very 1008 00:37:25,670 --> 00:37:23,119 sophisticated 1009 00:37:28,150 --> 00:37:25,680 attempts to to to not only spread 1010 00:37:29,670 --> 00:37:28,160 disinformation but potentially 1011 00:37:30,470 --> 00:37:29,680 discredit 1012 00:37:33,270 --> 00:37:30,480 uh 1013 00:37:35,270 --> 00:37:33,280 any image analyst who might come out and 1014 00:37:36,550 --> 00:37:35,280 proclaim that the image was legitimate 1015 00:37:39,910 --> 00:37:36,560 and genuine 1016 00:37:42,550 --> 00:37:39,920 um there i found the equivalent 1017 00:37:43,349 --> 00:37:42,560 of a digital fingerprint 1018 00:37:45,589 --> 00:37:43,359 uh 1019 00:37:49,109 --> 00:37:45,599 in the image that indicated that there 1020 00:37:51,349 --> 00:37:49,119 was something very nefarious going on 1021 00:37:53,190 --> 00:37:51,359 and at that point and and 1022 00:37:55,829 --> 00:37:53,200 this had been information i had shared 1023 00:37:58,390 --> 00:37:55,839 with the the narcap folks and so they 1024 00:38:02,950 --> 00:37:58,400 they put me in their report um 1025 00:38:05,829 --> 00:38:02,960 november 7th 2006 was the date of the 1026 00:38:07,589 --> 00:38:05,839 air just fyi yeah 1027 00:38:10,310 --> 00:38:07,599 so uh it was a very interesting 1028 00:38:12,870 --> 00:38:10,320 high-profile ufo case that 1029 00:38:14,150 --> 00:38:12,880 uh generated a certain amount of press 1030 00:38:17,510 --> 00:38:14,160 uh 1031 00:38:20,069 --> 00:38:17,520 interest it generated a huge amount of 1032 00:38:22,069 --> 00:38:20,079 use you know public interest 1033 00:38:23,670 --> 00:38:22,079 i think the uh the tribune said that it 1034 00:38:24,630 --> 00:38:23,680 was um 1035 00:38:26,390 --> 00:38:24,640 the most 1036 00:38:28,550 --> 00:38:26,400 they had the largest number of hits any 1037 00:38:31,589 --> 00:38:28,560 article it ever had on their site 1038 00:38:34,230 --> 00:38:31,599 um but again uh 1039 00:38:36,230 --> 00:38:34,240 what conclusions can we draw from that 1040 00:38:38,710 --> 00:38:36,240 episode let's let's assume for a moment 1041 00:38:40,710 --> 00:38:38,720 that it went down the way that certain 1042 00:38:43,430 --> 00:38:40,720 witnesses claimed it did 1043 00:38:47,670 --> 00:38:45,349 i'll make a statement to you that will 1044 00:38:50,230 --> 00:38:47,680 kind of underscore my own sort of 1045 00:38:51,750 --> 00:38:50,240 tendencies of thinking about the ufo 1046 00:38:54,470 --> 00:38:51,760 phenomena 1047 00:38:55,829 --> 00:38:54,480 which is uh 1048 00:38:58,870 --> 00:38:55,839 and there are many different forms of 1049 00:39:00,270 --> 00:38:58,880 it's not i say phenomena because 1050 00:39:01,829 --> 00:39:00,280 there are multiple types of 1051 00:39:03,910 --> 00:39:01,839 manifestations 1052 00:39:06,150 --> 00:39:03,920 of these things um and there are 1053 00:39:09,270 --> 00:39:06,160 different scales of it 1054 00:39:11,829 --> 00:39:09,280 but my contention is that if something 1055 00:39:13,430 --> 00:39:11,839 is clearly not human technology 1056 00:39:15,190 --> 00:39:13,440 we see it and it flies away from the 1057 00:39:17,910 --> 00:39:15,200 earth 1058 00:39:20,230 --> 00:39:17,920 that is not to say definitively that 1059 00:39:21,349 --> 00:39:20,240 it's not terrestrial 1060 00:39:23,190 --> 00:39:21,359 and that's where things get a little 1061 00:39:25,349 --> 00:39:23,200 complicated 1062 00:39:27,030 --> 00:39:25,359 and and my own line of thinking about a 1063 00:39:30,870 --> 00:39:27,040 lot of these things kept steering me in 1064 00:39:35,349 --> 00:39:32,870 kept telling me that there were levels 1065 00:39:37,430 --> 00:39:35,359 of deception going on here 1066 00:39:38,630 --> 00:39:37,440 that would make it very difficult to 1067 00:39:40,790 --> 00:39:38,640 have 1068 00:39:43,910 --> 00:39:40,800 any kind of statement that was 1069 00:39:46,069 --> 00:39:43,920 absolutely conclusive because i i s 1070 00:39:48,069 --> 00:39:46,079 it's my contention that 1071 00:39:49,910 --> 00:39:48,079 whatever is behind these things does not 1072 00:39:51,829 --> 00:39:49,920 want us to understand 1073 00:39:53,990 --> 00:39:51,839 what's going on 1074 00:39:56,630 --> 00:39:54,000 and that leads me down certain paths 1075 00:39:58,390 --> 00:39:56,640 that are uncomfortable 1076 00:40:01,190 --> 00:39:58,400 um 1077 00:40:03,109 --> 00:40:01,200 because it's it it 1078 00:40:05,030 --> 00:40:03,119 i kept coming up with this idea that by 1079 00:40:07,670 --> 00:40:05,040 the way i had many discussions about 1080 00:40:09,349 --> 00:40:07,680 this both on air and privately with a 1081 00:40:12,150 --> 00:40:09,359 fellow who passed away a number of years 1082 00:40:14,630 --> 00:40:12,160 ago absolutely mac tony's 1083 00:40:16,150 --> 00:40:14,640 um who ended up writing this very short 1084 00:40:18,230 --> 00:40:16,160 book in fact the book was published 1085 00:40:19,589 --> 00:40:18,240 after he died and i don't know that it 1086 00:40:21,990 --> 00:40:19,599 was really complete yet called the 1087 00:40:23,829 --> 00:40:22,000 cryptoterrestrials 1088 00:40:26,069 --> 00:40:23,839 where mac and i have been talking quite 1089 00:40:28,550 --> 00:40:26,079 a bit about the idea that perhaps we 1090 00:40:30,950 --> 00:40:28,560 were not at the top of the evolutionary 1091 00:40:33,990 --> 00:40:30,960 chain of on this planet i sure as hell 1092 00:40:37,349 --> 00:40:34,000 hope we're not because it's a sad 1093 00:40:40,390 --> 00:40:37,359 it's a sad idea if we are 1094 00:40:43,030 --> 00:40:40,400 yeah um but it's a little scary to think 1095 00:40:44,710 --> 00:40:43,040 that maybe if we're not 1096 00:40:47,510 --> 00:40:44,720 that we're not because we're not 1097 00:40:49,670 --> 00:40:47,520 supposed to know we're not 1098 00:40:52,069 --> 00:40:49,680 if this is all this is again 1099 00:40:54,470 --> 00:40:52,079 and part of the problem and having 1100 00:40:56,550 --> 00:40:54,480 useful practical constructive 1101 00:40:58,870 --> 00:40:56,560 discussions about this 1102 00:41:02,630 --> 00:40:58,880 is that if you don't play into 1103 00:41:05,030 --> 00:41:02,640 sort of story threads that already exist 1104 00:41:08,150 --> 00:41:05,040 it gets too weird for people 1105 00:41:08,870 --> 00:41:08,160 right to talk about let's say 1106 00:41:36,870 --> 00:41:08,880 a 1107 00:41:39,030 --> 00:41:36,880 our evolution which is 1108 00:41:42,470 --> 00:41:39,040 clearly points out that we are not an 1109 00:41:44,230 --> 00:41:42,480 advanced species we are not very evolved 1110 00:41:45,589 --> 00:41:44,240 uh nowhere near as much as we'd like to 1111 00:41:48,150 --> 00:41:45,599 think we are and i'm not even talking 1112 00:41:50,550 --> 00:41:48,160 about the religious people who believe 1113 00:41:53,589 --> 00:41:50,560 were some kind of definitive expression 1114 00:41:55,670 --> 00:41:53,599 of the grand mind and heart and creature 1115 00:41:58,230 --> 00:41:55,680 that created the universe 1116 00:42:00,790 --> 00:41:58,240 i just to me that's just so nonsensical 1117 00:42:01,670 --> 00:42:00,800 is to be really laughable at this point 1118 00:42:03,190 --> 00:42:01,680 um 1119 00:42:05,190 --> 00:42:03,200 but 1120 00:42:07,910 --> 00:42:05,200 we have not been doing science for a 1121 00:42:11,430 --> 00:42:07,920 long time as a species we've been doing 1122 00:42:13,430 --> 00:42:11,440 flight for just over 100 years it's not 1123 00:42:16,390 --> 00:42:13,440 very significant you know we made some 1124 00:42:17,829 --> 00:42:16,400 great strides in the last century you 1125 00:42:20,470 --> 00:42:17,839 know putting 1126 00:42:23,670 --> 00:42:20,480 humans on another planetary body 1127 00:42:26,870 --> 00:42:23,680 which happened in my lifetime was huge 1128 00:42:28,710 --> 00:42:26,880 sadly witnessed the fact that today 1129 00:42:30,230 --> 00:42:28,720 you have a significant number of people 1130 00:42:31,670 --> 00:42:30,240 who refuse to believe that actually 1131 00:42:33,430 --> 00:42:31,680 happened 1132 00:42:36,309 --> 00:42:33,440 you know every time i see the the the 1133 00:42:37,589 --> 00:42:36,319 apollo deniers which drives me nuts 1134 00:42:40,390 --> 00:42:37,599 um 1135 00:42:41,589 --> 00:42:40,400 ever done 1136 00:42:43,430 --> 00:42:41,599 since we 1137 00:42:46,150 --> 00:42:43,440 crawled out of the mud 1138 00:42:47,910 --> 00:42:46,160 and uh people don't want to believe it 1139 00:42:48,790 --> 00:42:47,920 just you know a few decades after it 1140 00:42:52,710 --> 00:42:48,800 happened 1141 00:42:54,470 --> 00:42:52,720 that's very very sad david yes i'm 1142 00:42:56,950 --> 00:42:54,480 wondering i have i have two questions 1143 00:43:00,069 --> 00:42:56,960 here for you that relate and one thing 1144 00:43:02,630 --> 00:43:00,079 is would you say that the general 1145 00:43:03,589 --> 00:43:02,640 direction that you and mactones were 1146 00:43:06,790 --> 00:43:03,599 going 1147 00:43:10,069 --> 00:43:06,800 along uh somewhat mirrored what 1148 00:43:11,990 --> 00:43:10,079 john keel and jacques valet have written 1149 00:43:14,470 --> 00:43:12,000 that's the first question and the second 1150 00:43:16,470 --> 00:43:14,480 question is why do you think we haven't 1151 00:43:18,630 --> 00:43:16,480 gone back to the moon is do you believe 1152 00:43:21,430 --> 00:43:18,640 it's totally financial or do you think 1153 00:43:23,270 --> 00:43:21,440 that perhaps other reasons 1154 00:43:27,190 --> 00:43:23,280 go to the second question first second 1155 00:43:30,630 --> 00:43:27,200 question first um 1156 00:43:31,589 --> 00:43:30,640 i i believe it's political and financial 1157 00:43:33,349 --> 00:43:31,599 um 1158 00:43:35,589 --> 00:43:33,359 when one looks at the context under 1159 00:43:37,829 --> 00:43:35,599 which the american space program played 1160 00:43:41,670 --> 00:43:37,839 out in the 50s and 60s 1161 00:43:43,670 --> 00:43:41,680 and then into the 70s um it was really 1162 00:43:45,349 --> 00:43:43,680 that was more political than anything 1163 00:43:48,550 --> 00:43:45,359 else ultimately 1164 00:43:50,309 --> 00:43:48,560 um you know we were in this grand race 1165 00:43:52,309 --> 00:43:50,319 with the russians 1166 00:43:54,230 --> 00:43:52,319 and it was about the frailty of human 1167 00:43:55,589 --> 00:43:54,240 egos i think more than anything else 1168 00:43:59,430 --> 00:43:55,599 there is a large amount of scientific 1169 00:44:03,270 --> 00:44:01,030 but i don't know that that's necessarily 1170 00:44:06,470 --> 00:44:03,280 what absolutely motivated 1171 00:44:07,829 --> 00:44:06,480 the missions later on the massive costs 1172 00:44:09,430 --> 00:44:07,839 involved 1173 00:44:11,990 --> 00:44:09,440 i think as 1174 00:44:14,470 --> 00:44:12,000 our culture sort of took a different bit 1175 00:44:16,550 --> 00:44:14,480 of a different turn 1176 00:44:19,910 --> 00:44:16,560 those were seen as just simply being 1177 00:44:21,190 --> 00:44:19,920 unsustainable and i think that nowadays 1178 00:44:22,390 --> 00:44:21,200 when you talk about going back to the 1179 00:44:23,270 --> 00:44:22,400 moon 1180 00:44:25,270 --> 00:44:23,280 um 1181 00:44:27,430 --> 00:44:25,280 it's it's a hard sell because of the 1182 00:44:30,309 --> 00:44:27,440 kind of costs involved 1183 00:44:32,069 --> 00:44:30,319 are just so fantastic uh 1184 00:44:33,510 --> 00:44:32,079 and it's it's sad to me because when you 1185 00:44:34,870 --> 00:44:33,520 think about what we could have done with 1186 00:44:38,390 --> 00:44:34,880 all the money that was burned let's say 1187 00:44:40,230 --> 00:44:38,400 in iraq and afghani and afghanistan 1188 00:44:42,470 --> 00:44:40,240 who knows what we could have done 1189 00:44:44,150 --> 00:44:42,480 constructively with that money to 1190 00:44:46,230 --> 00:44:44,160 not only go back to the moon but figure 1191 00:44:49,190 --> 00:44:46,240 out a really good set of reasons to go 1192 00:44:53,430 --> 00:44:51,589 of which there are a number i think that 1193 00:44:54,630 --> 00:44:53,440 the problem part of the problem with the 1194 00:44:56,309 --> 00:44:54,640 masses 1195 00:44:59,030 --> 00:44:56,319 is that they parse all of this and 1196 00:45:01,430 --> 00:44:59,040 through the the almost exclusively 1197 00:45:02,390 --> 00:45:01,440 through the lens of science fiction 1198 00:45:05,430 --> 00:45:02,400 um 1199 00:45:07,349 --> 00:45:05,440 which is all good and fine but it 1200 00:45:09,589 --> 00:45:07,359 you know asks somebody about the 1201 00:45:12,309 --> 00:45:09,599 logistics of actually putting 1202 00:45:14,550 --> 00:45:12,319 a few people on the moon 1203 00:45:18,630 --> 00:45:14,560 and they immediately think in terms of 1204 00:45:19,750 --> 00:45:18,640 sort of the the apollo 13 movie um when 1205 00:45:22,550 --> 00:45:19,760 they're not really thinking about the 1206 00:45:25,750 --> 00:45:22,560 real hardcore engineering involved 1207 00:45:28,230 --> 00:45:25,760 which is rather significant and 1208 00:45:29,829 --> 00:45:28,240 so i i think that that the moon issue is 1209 00:45:34,150 --> 00:45:29,839 just a problem of 1210 00:45:36,870 --> 00:45:34,160 uh uh of societal motivation are 1211 00:45:39,270 --> 00:45:36,880 our societies now much more wrapped up 1212 00:45:42,309 --> 00:45:39,280 with our experience on earth not so much 1213 00:45:45,910 --> 00:45:42,319 in space well i would ask you just 1214 00:45:49,030 --> 00:45:45,920 visually that about the chinese mission 1215 00:45:52,069 --> 00:45:49,040 recently of the jade rabbit that um they 1216 00:45:55,030 --> 00:45:52,079 were on the mission excited about 1217 00:45:57,430 --> 00:45:55,040 and uh they landed this little uh 1218 00:46:01,349 --> 00:45:57,440 robotic device on the moon 1219 00:46:03,430 --> 00:46:01,359 and then the excitement it malfunctioned 1220 00:46:06,230 --> 00:46:03,440 and the excitement disappeared 1221 00:46:07,510 --> 00:46:06,240 um i'm wondering whether there was any 1222 00:46:09,589 --> 00:46:07,520 other 1223 00:46:11,349 --> 00:46:09,599 reason for their you know lack of 1224 00:46:14,470 --> 00:46:11,359 interest or youtube like some nefarious 1225 00:46:17,430 --> 00:46:14,480 reason yes like somebody evil living on 1226 00:46:18,710 --> 00:46:17,440 the moon and saying get off our 1227 00:46:20,550 --> 00:46:18,720 moon 1228 00:46:23,190 --> 00:46:20,560 i think that's why most people think we 1229 00:46:25,190 --> 00:46:23,200 haven't gone back like well warned off 1230 00:46:26,710 --> 00:46:25,200 the moon from that point of view is 1231 00:46:29,750 --> 00:46:26,720 really important to earth i don't know 1232 00:46:31,670 --> 00:46:29,760 that it's important to anyone else 1233 00:46:33,030 --> 00:46:31,680 it's it's very important for us but as 1234 00:46:33,990 --> 00:46:33,040 far as 1235 00:46:36,630 --> 00:46:34,000 uh 1236 00:46:39,190 --> 00:46:36,640 well give me an example of this right 1237 00:46:44,069 --> 00:46:41,349 there are more productive places for 1238 00:46:46,309 --> 00:46:44,079 example to find water 1239 00:46:47,510 --> 00:46:46,319 uh in our solar system as well to the 1240 00:46:49,510 --> 00:46:47,520 moon right 1241 00:46:51,109 --> 00:46:49,520 there are more productive places i think 1242 00:46:55,510 --> 00:46:51,119 potentially to find 1243 00:46:59,670 --> 00:46:57,430 again the moon is really fascinating and 1244 00:47:02,150 --> 00:46:59,680 useful to earth because without it 1245 00:47:03,430 --> 00:47:02,160 uh we'd have a hard time with our tides 1246 00:47:04,470 --> 00:47:03,440 we'd have a 1247 00:47:06,470 --> 00:47:04,480 uh 1248 00:47:08,069 --> 00:47:06,480 our climate would look very different 1249 00:47:11,030 --> 00:47:08,079 yes um 1250 00:47:13,589 --> 00:47:11,040 but this idea that something else 1251 00:47:15,430 --> 00:47:13,599 is on the moon it doesn't want us there 1252 00:47:17,510 --> 00:47:15,440 i think that's a human way of seeing 1253 00:47:19,829 --> 00:47:17,520 things i don't necessarily know that i 1254 00:47:22,230 --> 00:47:19,839 would prescribe that to advanced beings 1255 00:47:23,670 --> 00:47:22,240 thinking that way what about as a as an 1256 00:47:26,470 --> 00:47:23,680 outpost 1257 00:47:27,349 --> 00:47:26,480 to observe us 1258 00:47:30,950 --> 00:47:27,359 rather 1259 00:47:34,150 --> 00:47:30,960 limited humans or even like a crypto 1260 00:47:35,990 --> 00:47:34,160 human or crypto-terrestrial or whatever 1261 00:47:39,190 --> 00:47:36,000 because i agree with you i mean it seems 1262 00:47:41,589 --> 00:47:39,200 like most of these things spring from 1263 00:47:43,510 --> 00:47:41,599 right around here if not just earth 1264 00:47:44,550 --> 00:47:43,520 maybe the moon as well 1265 00:47:46,790 --> 00:47:44,560 well 1266 00:47:48,069 --> 00:47:46,800 okay a couple of things first of all i 1267 00:47:50,950 --> 00:47:48,079 don't think that 1268 00:47:52,790 --> 00:47:50,960 humans at this point have a tremendously 1269 00:47:54,150 --> 00:47:52,800 excellent grasp on the true history of 1270 00:47:55,990 --> 00:47:54,160 our planet 1271 00:47:57,270 --> 00:47:56,000 i don't think we do i think that there 1272 00:48:00,710 --> 00:47:57,280 are 1273 00:48:03,109 --> 00:48:00,720 very likely more things that we suspect 1274 00:48:04,950 --> 00:48:03,119 are real are actually incorrect 1275 00:48:07,430 --> 00:48:04,960 about the history of this planet and 1276 00:48:09,349 --> 00:48:07,440 again i i come back to this simple idea 1277 00:48:11,430 --> 00:48:09,359 and this is based on 1278 00:48:12,710 --> 00:48:11,440 by the way humility when i would talk 1279 00:48:14,630 --> 00:48:12,720 about these things on the paracast 1280 00:48:15,829 --> 00:48:14,640 people would attack me saying 1281 00:48:17,829 --> 00:48:15,839 who do you think you know everything 1282 00:48:19,270 --> 00:48:17,839 it's like no i i think i actually assume 1283 00:48:21,589 --> 00:48:19,280 i know nothing 1284 00:48:23,750 --> 00:48:21,599 and so starting from that place i'm not 1285 00:48:24,630 --> 00:48:23,760 willing to to draw conclusions i just 1286 00:48:27,030 --> 00:48:24,640 want to 1287 00:48:28,710 --> 00:48:27,040 basically open up the thought process 1288 00:48:30,950 --> 00:48:28,720 around this 1289 00:48:34,230 --> 00:48:30,960 what are one of the things that you 1290 00:48:37,349 --> 00:48:34,240 think that are accept is accepted about 1291 00:48:38,710 --> 00:48:37,359 human history or the planet's history 1292 00:48:41,589 --> 00:48:38,720 that like some 1293 00:48:43,670 --> 00:48:41,599 quasi-scientific accepted 1294 00:48:45,910 --> 00:48:43,680 um 1295 00:48:47,510 --> 00:48:45,920 fact that is a factoid shall we say that 1296 00:48:48,950 --> 00:48:47,520 isn't really 1297 00:48:52,549 --> 00:48:48,960 likely 1298 00:48:54,710 --> 00:48:52,559 yeah that you think that you in other 1299 00:48:56,790 --> 00:48:54,720 words you had just said that that we're 1300 00:48:58,950 --> 00:48:56,800 going to come upon at some juncture that 1301 00:49:01,030 --> 00:48:58,960 many of the things that we've accepted 1302 00:49:03,430 --> 00:49:01,040 about the planetary history and humans 1303 00:49:06,150 --> 00:49:03,440 on the planet is going to prove to be 1304 00:49:08,549 --> 00:49:06,160 false um i'm not disputing that that may 1305 00:49:11,109 --> 00:49:08,559 very well be the case especially in the 1306 00:49:14,069 --> 00:49:11,119 case of certain artifacts that 1307 00:49:16,390 --> 00:49:14,079 appear to have been found and um you 1308 00:49:19,349 --> 00:49:16,400 know the the dating on the sphinx and 1309 00:49:22,950 --> 00:49:19,359 and and the new uh 1310 00:49:24,230 --> 00:49:22,960 findings out there in turkey of the um 1311 00:49:26,790 --> 00:49:24,240 of the uh 1312 00:49:28,950 --> 00:49:26,800 what's the twenty thousand-year-old oh i 1313 00:49:31,430 --> 00:49:28,960 can't think of it oh god b 1314 00:49:34,150 --> 00:49:31,440 to start with the b anyway 1315 00:49:35,030 --> 00:49:34,160 but what what a what are um 1316 00:49:37,750 --> 00:49:35,040 what are 1317 00:49:39,190 --> 00:49:37,760 one thing what is one thing that is is 1318 00:49:45,589 --> 00:49:39,200 significant 1319 00:49:49,190 --> 00:49:45,599 uh like the three-toed sloths once had 1320 00:49:50,710 --> 00:49:49,200 four toes or something like that 1321 00:49:53,349 --> 00:49:50,720 oh 1322 00:49:54,549 --> 00:49:53,359 well i'll give you one example okay 1323 00:49:55,829 --> 00:49:54,559 because you were talking about the moon 1324 00:49:58,950 --> 00:49:55,839 before right 1325 00:50:01,109 --> 00:49:58,960 yes um 1326 00:50:03,270 --> 00:50:01,119 there are many theories floating around 1327 00:50:04,630 --> 00:50:03,280 about how the moon got where it is where 1328 00:50:06,630 --> 00:50:04,640 it came from 1329 00:50:08,549 --> 00:50:06,640 why it has this sort of 1330 00:50:09,589 --> 00:50:08,559 incredible balance with respect to our 1331 00:50:11,589 --> 00:50:09,599 planet 1332 00:50:12,390 --> 00:50:11,599 um i don't think we're anywhere close to 1333 00:50:14,710 --> 00:50:12,400 having 1334 00:50:16,390 --> 00:50:14,720 real knowledge of the sourcing of our 1335 00:50:18,549 --> 00:50:16,400 moon it's older than the earth 1336 00:50:20,790 --> 00:50:18,559 apparently that's what they've 1337 00:50:22,069 --> 00:50:20,800 said 1338 00:50:24,309 --> 00:50:22,079 no 1339 00:50:29,030 --> 00:50:24,319 well possibly 1340 00:50:31,030 --> 00:50:29,040 based on one rock yeah uh uh 1341 00:50:32,950 --> 00:50:31,040 it's fascinating i'll tell you uh 1342 00:50:35,510 --> 00:50:32,960 actually ferrous and i tried to do a 1343 00:50:37,589 --> 00:50:35,520 show once on the moon and remember that 1344 00:50:39,750 --> 00:50:37,599 because there's so many 1345 00:50:42,150 --> 00:50:39,760 unanswered questions about well and 1346 00:50:44,309 --> 00:50:42,160 there's a lot of noise around the moon 1347 00:50:46,950 --> 00:50:44,319 suggesting you know for example 1348 00:50:49,030 --> 00:50:46,960 even recently there had been a a special 1349 00:50:49,910 --> 00:50:49,040 on one of the cable television channels 1350 00:50:52,150 --> 00:50:49,920 about 1351 00:50:54,549 --> 00:50:52,160 all of the anomalous imagery on the moon 1352 00:50:55,349 --> 00:50:54,559 and then they ended with that horrible 1353 00:50:56,470 --> 00:50:55,359 yeah 1354 00:50:58,549 --> 00:50:56,480 horrible 1355 00:51:01,109 --> 00:50:58,559 waxed dummies up there it was just an 1356 00:51:02,549 --> 00:51:01,119 asian woman it just just terrible the 1357 00:51:04,710 --> 00:51:02,559 whole thing was i think just a real 1358 00:51:07,910 --> 00:51:04,720 problem it was kiviat wasn't it again 1359 00:51:09,829 --> 00:51:07,920 yeah bob kivia another complete bs 1360 00:51:12,230 --> 00:51:09,839 artist who at this point you know is 1361 00:51:14,150 --> 00:51:12,240 vetted we know who he is yes we know 1362 00:51:15,589 --> 00:51:14,160 he's an entertainer he's got nothing to 1363 00:51:17,670 --> 00:51:15,599 do with research 1364 00:51:19,430 --> 00:51:17,680 so he's tainted and we said we wouldn't 1365 00:51:21,430 --> 00:51:19,440 talk about tainted personality no we 1366 00:51:24,150 --> 00:51:21,440 won't i just i couldn't help saying it 1367 00:51:27,030 --> 00:51:24,160 because it just brought up such a i was 1368 00:51:29,270 --> 00:51:27,040 watching that and it was yeah there was 1369 00:51:31,670 --> 00:51:29,280 some interesting things and some not so 1370 00:51:34,829 --> 00:51:31,680 interesting things and then they dragged 1371 00:51:37,910 --> 00:51:34,839 out that folks figure of the asian woman 1372 00:51:39,510 --> 00:51:37,920 right so here's the thing um 1373 00:51:41,990 --> 00:51:39,520 the vast majority of what was on that 1374 00:51:44,069 --> 00:51:42,000 show to me was just absolute junk 1375 00:51:47,109 --> 00:51:44,079 there are a handful and in particular 1376 00:51:49,109 --> 00:51:47,119 there's one image in particular 1377 00:51:50,549 --> 00:51:49,119 of something of an artifact on the moon 1378 00:51:52,470 --> 00:51:50,559 now most of what they covered in that 1379 00:51:54,549 --> 00:51:52,480 show to me was very prosaic very 1380 00:51:56,950 --> 00:51:54,559 explainable a lot of it had to do with 1381 00:51:59,430 --> 00:51:56,960 old imagery they were looking at where 1382 00:52:01,109 --> 00:51:59,440 uh they were seeing degraded images and 1383 00:52:03,030 --> 00:52:01,119 they were they were making assumptions 1384 00:52:05,349 --> 00:52:03,040 based on degraded images 1385 00:52:07,270 --> 00:52:05,359 um a terrible problem but there is one 1386 00:52:09,829 --> 00:52:07,280 particular image 1387 00:52:11,910 --> 00:52:09,839 of and and the problem is i i've not 1388 00:52:14,309 --> 00:52:11,920 done the time to go and do the research 1389 00:52:15,190 --> 00:52:14,319 to find out what is the scale of this 1390 00:52:17,670 --> 00:52:15,200 thing 1391 00:52:19,430 --> 00:52:17,680 uh is it in a place where potentially 1392 00:52:21,430 --> 00:52:19,440 some maybe a russian 1393 00:52:23,750 --> 00:52:21,440 probe at some point crashed and put 1394 00:52:25,589 --> 00:52:23,760 itself on there but there is a one set 1395 00:52:27,270 --> 00:52:25,599 of structures on the moon that look to 1396 00:52:28,710 --> 00:52:27,280 me to my eye 1397 00:52:30,710 --> 00:52:28,720 like some kind of 1398 00:52:32,470 --> 00:52:30,720 cogs or wheels 1399 00:52:33,589 --> 00:52:32,480 where the image the the image of what 1400 00:52:35,109 --> 00:52:33,599 we're seeing 1401 00:52:37,670 --> 00:52:35,119 to my mind 1402 00:52:39,109 --> 00:52:37,680 is clearly manufactured it is not a 1403 00:52:40,870 --> 00:52:39,119 natural thing 1404 00:52:42,790 --> 00:52:40,880 and and i say this with the idea that 1405 00:52:45,430 --> 00:52:42,800 i've seen so many people put so many 1406 00:52:47,349 --> 00:52:45,440 images not just of the moon but of mars 1407 00:52:48,790 --> 00:52:47,359 things that definitely have prosaic 1408 00:52:51,510 --> 00:52:48,800 explanations where 1409 00:52:56,230 --> 00:52:53,910 a paradilia comes in and people see what 1410 00:52:59,430 --> 00:52:56,240 their brain tells them they want to see 1411 00:53:01,349 --> 00:52:59,440 um but there's one photo in particular 1412 00:53:03,270 --> 00:53:01,359 uh of this one thing structure on the 1413 00:53:04,950 --> 00:53:03,280 moon that to me 1414 00:53:06,150 --> 00:53:04,960 it it wants 1415 00:53:11,349 --> 00:53:06,160 further 1416 00:53:12,309 --> 00:53:11,359 sort of establish what what isn't it 1417 00:53:15,349 --> 00:53:12,319 um 1418 00:53:17,270 --> 00:53:15,359 which might suggest possibly 1419 00:53:19,750 --> 00:53:17,280 that maybe there had been a 1420 00:53:22,309 --> 00:53:19,760 technologically sophisticated 1421 00:53:23,349 --> 00:53:22,319 uh uh 1422 00:53:25,270 --> 00:53:23,359 visitors 1423 00:53:27,349 --> 00:53:25,280 no not visitor a 1424 00:53:29,349 --> 00:53:27,359 society on this planet 1425 00:53:30,470 --> 00:53:29,359 that at some point potentially destroyed 1426 00:53:33,030 --> 00:53:30,480 itself 1427 00:53:35,349 --> 00:53:33,040 oh on this planet on this planet okay i 1428 00:53:37,589 --> 00:53:35,359 was saying visitor to the moon 1429 00:53:39,109 --> 00:53:37,599 right from here would be visitors from 1430 00:53:42,069 --> 00:53:39,119 whoever from here 1431 00:53:44,630 --> 00:53:42,079 so that's i'm not saying i believe that 1432 00:53:46,790 --> 00:53:44,640 but i'm saying that it's as 1433 00:53:48,710 --> 00:53:46,800 possible as anything else from my point 1434 00:53:50,630 --> 00:53:48,720 of view because i keep coming back to 1435 00:53:52,069 --> 00:53:50,640 this idea that 1436 00:53:53,670 --> 00:53:52,079 what for example 1437 00:53:55,670 --> 00:53:53,680 understanding the history of life on the 1438 00:53:58,710 --> 00:53:55,680 planet right 1439 00:54:00,870 --> 00:53:58,720 right now the the biologist edward o 1440 00:54:03,030 --> 00:54:00,880 wilson is probably the the smartest 1441 00:54:04,790 --> 00:54:03,040 biologist on the face of the earth an 1442 00:54:06,790 --> 00:54:04,800 unsung hero 1443 00:54:08,790 --> 00:54:06,800 just a brilliant brilliant man 1444 00:54:11,430 --> 00:54:08,800 where a handful of years ago he was on 1445 00:54:12,950 --> 00:54:11,440 the bill moyers show and moyers says 1446 00:54:14,390 --> 00:54:12,960 some something like well you know we we 1447 00:54:17,190 --> 00:54:14,400 know about the majority of life on the 1448 00:54:19,270 --> 00:54:17,200 planet and and wilson's like no no no 1449 00:54:21,430 --> 00:54:19,280 no we we have not discovered the vast 1450 00:54:24,630 --> 00:54:21,440 majority of life on the planet 1451 00:54:27,030 --> 00:54:24,640 and wilson posited that it was probably 1452 00:54:28,710 --> 00:54:27,040 around 85 percent 1453 00:54:30,790 --> 00:54:28,720 of the life on the planet remains 1454 00:54:32,230 --> 00:54:30,800 unknown to us and yeah a bunch of it are 1455 00:54:35,510 --> 00:54:32,240 insects and 1456 00:54:38,549 --> 00:54:35,520 uh uh and microbial life but at the same 1457 00:54:39,990 --> 00:54:38,559 time we're still finding new mammals gee 1458 00:54:42,230 --> 00:54:40,000 underneath of the ice packs in the 1459 00:54:43,510 --> 00:54:42,240 arctic we're finding creatures that 1460 00:54:45,030 --> 00:54:43,520 aren't supposed to be able to live down 1461 00:54:47,430 --> 00:54:45,040 that deep under those kind of pressures 1462 00:54:49,910 --> 00:54:47,440 and that kind of cold um 1463 00:54:51,510 --> 00:54:49,920 so let's assume for a minute that 1464 00:54:52,870 --> 00:54:51,520 wilson is correct i'll give him the 1465 00:54:54,870 --> 00:54:52,880 benefit of the doubt because he's a 1466 00:54:56,950 --> 00:54:54,880 really smart guy who spent his entire 1467 00:54:58,790 --> 00:54:56,960 life studying this well you must like 1468 00:55:01,109 --> 00:54:58,800 him because he is i love him he's a 1469 00:55:03,349 --> 00:55:01,119 naturalist and he does exactly what you 1470 00:55:06,309 --> 00:55:03,359 do he just looks at things 1471 00:55:09,430 --> 00:55:06,319 and he goes okay this is x that's y so x 1472 00:55:11,910 --> 00:55:09,440 plus y oh it does equal z right and he 1473 00:55:14,710 --> 00:55:11,920 doesn't put any there's no overlapping 1474 00:55:17,270 --> 00:55:14,720 on it no no he's a true scientist yes he 1475 00:55:19,510 --> 00:55:17,280 is um uh uh so 1476 00:55:20,790 --> 00:55:19,520 if we assume that he's correct right now 1477 00:55:22,950 --> 00:55:20,800 we look at 1478 00:55:26,630 --> 00:55:22,960 our study of life on this planet 1479 00:55:28,549 --> 00:55:26,640 primarily based on the fossil record 1480 00:55:31,109 --> 00:55:28,559 so okay that's good and fine there are 1481 00:55:33,510 --> 00:55:31,119 tons of fossils of interesting creatures 1482 00:55:35,910 --> 00:55:33,520 but then one begins to understand that 1483 00:55:38,549 --> 00:55:35,920 in the case of fossils 1484 00:55:40,069 --> 00:55:38,559 fossils form under specific sets of 1485 00:55:42,710 --> 00:55:40,079 conditions 1486 00:55:44,950 --> 00:55:42,720 fossils are not universal 1487 00:55:46,309 --> 00:55:44,960 they show up more in certain places on 1488 00:55:48,950 --> 00:55:46,319 earth than others 1489 00:55:50,630 --> 00:55:48,960 and things that are likely to be 1490 00:55:52,870 --> 00:55:50,640 fossilized 1491 00:55:55,589 --> 00:55:52,880 probably ended up 1492 00:55:57,349 --> 00:55:55,599 collapsing into a bog there were certain 1493 00:56:00,309 --> 00:55:57,359 types of uh 1494 00:56:03,430 --> 00:56:00,319 ground that facilitated 1495 00:56:04,710 --> 00:56:03,440 the creatures with exoskeletons making 1496 00:56:07,990 --> 00:56:04,720 impressions 1497 00:56:09,990 --> 00:56:08,000 um the fossil record 1498 00:56:11,270 --> 00:56:10,000 is 1499 00:56:12,789 --> 00:56:11,280 in no way 1500 00:56:15,349 --> 00:56:12,799 in my mind 1501 00:56:18,390 --> 00:56:15,359 a complete accounting of life on earth 1502 00:56:20,230 --> 00:56:18,400 in fact if we assume that wilson is 1503 00:56:21,829 --> 00:56:20,240 right and we're not aware currently of 1504 00:56:23,109 --> 00:56:21,839 the majority of species that have lived 1505 00:56:25,030 --> 00:56:23,119 on the planet 1506 00:56:26,950 --> 00:56:25,040 then just statistically 1507 00:56:28,630 --> 00:56:26,960 one that looks at the amount of fossils 1508 00:56:30,309 --> 00:56:28,640 that have been collected 1509 00:56:31,670 --> 00:56:30,319 and the conditions under which shows 1510 00:56:35,030 --> 00:56:31,680 fossils 1511 00:56:36,950 --> 00:56:35,040 would have actually been created and one 1512 00:56:38,470 --> 00:56:36,960 realized that if there's a very good 1513 00:56:40,630 --> 00:56:38,480 likelihood 1514 00:56:42,230 --> 00:56:40,640 that the majority of life that has lived 1515 00:56:44,630 --> 00:56:42,240 on this planet 1516 00:56:45,910 --> 00:56:44,640 never produced fossils and is unknown to 1517 00:56:48,150 --> 00:56:45,920 us 1518 00:56:50,309 --> 00:56:48,160 it could you could very easily make this 1519 00:56:51,430 --> 00:56:50,319 argument and back it up with some real 1520 00:56:53,829 --> 00:56:51,440 data 1521 00:56:55,510 --> 00:56:53,839 so just assuming that the fossil record 1522 00:56:56,950 --> 00:56:55,520 gives us the full picture of what 1523 00:57:00,470 --> 00:56:56,960 happened here 1524 00:57:02,549 --> 00:57:00,480 i think is is extremely problematic and 1525 00:57:04,390 --> 00:57:02,559 and most likely 1526 00:57:06,390 --> 00:57:04,400 is erroneous 1527 00:57:08,309 --> 00:57:06,400 and and then i'm going to throw the my 1528 00:57:11,670 --> 00:57:08,319 big overlay on this which has always 1529 00:57:13,589 --> 00:57:11,680 been my my thought which is that 1530 00:57:15,109 --> 00:57:13,599 we tend to 1531 00:57:17,190 --> 00:57:15,119 parse life 1532 00:57:19,270 --> 00:57:17,200 based on our understanding and our 1533 00:57:22,710 --> 00:57:19,280 experience of what it is 1534 00:57:25,190 --> 00:57:22,720 and i think that that is very limiting 1535 00:57:27,510 --> 00:57:25,200 and it's a it's a limitation of our own 1536 00:57:28,710 --> 00:57:27,520 senses and our own evolution 1537 00:57:31,270 --> 00:57:28,720 all right 1538 00:57:33,109 --> 00:57:31,280 humans still have the you take most 1539 00:57:35,750 --> 00:57:33,119 scientific thinkers 1540 00:57:36,549 --> 00:57:35,760 and you throw the the gaia theory at 1541 00:57:38,230 --> 00:57:36,559 them 1542 00:57:39,190 --> 00:57:38,240 and they they kind of melt down they 1543 00:57:41,589 --> 00:57:39,200 don't 1544 00:57:44,069 --> 00:57:41,599 want to believe they have a huge problem 1545 00:57:45,349 --> 00:57:44,079 believing or accepting in any way the 1546 00:57:48,150 --> 00:57:45,359 idea 1547 00:57:50,230 --> 00:57:48,160 that maybe the planet is actually some 1548 00:57:52,630 --> 00:57:50,240 form of organization of life that has 1549 00:57:54,549 --> 00:57:52,640 some meta intelligence 1550 00:57:57,109 --> 00:57:54,559 and this is where we now tie back into 1551 00:58:00,150 --> 00:57:57,119 what jacques valet was positing 1552 00:58:02,950 --> 00:58:00,160 which is that made he thought maybe ufos 1553 00:58:05,910 --> 00:58:02,960 and the ufo phenomenon was 1554 00:58:08,069 --> 00:58:05,920 some attempt from some un misunderstood 1555 00:58:09,030 --> 00:58:08,079 or completely unknown mechanism in the 1556 00:58:11,589 --> 00:58:09,040 planet 1557 00:58:13,670 --> 00:58:11,599 to sort of jump start our evolution 1558 00:58:15,589 --> 00:58:13,680 and to get us to like quickly evolve 1559 00:58:17,589 --> 00:58:15,599 because maybe there's some dire stuff 1560 00:58:19,430 --> 00:58:17,599 happening that we need to like really 1561 00:58:20,950 --> 00:58:19,440 open up our minds about in order to 1562 00:58:23,190 --> 00:58:20,960 potentially 1563 00:58:25,030 --> 00:58:23,200 make some constructive moves 1564 00:58:27,750 --> 00:58:25,040 and that was that was one of the things 1565 00:58:29,750 --> 00:58:27,760 that valet put forward that maybe ufos 1566 00:58:32,470 --> 00:58:29,760 were some sort of a of a control 1567 00:58:34,870 --> 00:58:32,480 mechanism on the part of the planet 1568 00:58:38,390 --> 00:58:34,880 uh i don't know if i can 1569 00:58:40,470 --> 00:58:38,400 really can completely accept that 1570 00:58:42,069 --> 00:58:40,480 i have a few issues with it 1571 00:58:45,270 --> 00:58:42,079 um 1572 00:58:47,990 --> 00:58:45,280 but it's certainly possible well it kind 1573 00:58:50,390 --> 00:58:48,000 of uh i think the crux of the matter 1574 00:58:52,789 --> 00:58:50,400 that you began to speak about just 1575 00:58:54,870 --> 00:58:52,799 previous to mentioning valet and when 1576 00:58:58,630 --> 00:58:54,880 you started to talk about the gaia 1577 00:59:01,589 --> 00:58:58,640 principle and a lot of science not being 1578 00:59:02,950 --> 00:59:01,599 able to really uh get their uh head 1579 00:59:06,630 --> 00:59:02,960 around that 1580 00:59:08,870 --> 00:59:06,640 it comes down to me for the meaning of 1581 00:59:11,910 --> 00:59:08,880 life is life 1582 00:59:15,109 --> 00:59:11,920 have to be something that is breathing 1583 00:59:18,470 --> 00:59:15,119 or is life about consciousness 1584 00:59:20,630 --> 00:59:18,480 and that's where i think many in the 1585 00:59:22,470 --> 00:59:20,640 scientific fields 1586 00:59:24,950 --> 00:59:22,480 kind of boggle 1587 00:59:27,750 --> 00:59:24,960 over that because 1588 00:59:29,109 --> 00:59:27,760 science has not been able to 1589 00:59:33,510 --> 00:59:29,119 really 1590 00:59:35,589 --> 00:59:33,520 explain what consciousness is but to me 1591 00:59:38,230 --> 00:59:35,599 um you know you talk about the word 1592 00:59:40,870 --> 00:59:38,240 believe and i have a lot of problems 1593 00:59:42,630 --> 00:59:40,880 with it as well but when it comes to the 1594 00:59:45,670 --> 00:59:42,640 gaia principle 1595 00:59:47,349 --> 00:59:45,680 i'm i'm as close to believing that as i 1596 00:59:48,470 --> 00:59:47,359 am to believing 1597 00:59:50,230 --> 00:59:48,480 anything 1598 00:59:52,710 --> 00:59:50,240 and um 1599 00:59:53,670 --> 00:59:52,720 so i think that the real problem there 1600 00:59:54,950 --> 00:59:53,680 is 1601 00:59:57,589 --> 00:59:54,960 how do you 1602 01:00:03,190 --> 00:59:57,599 uh define life is it about 1603 01:00:06,870 --> 01:00:05,190 well my personal belief along these 1604 01:00:08,549 --> 01:00:06,880 lines based on 1605 01:00:10,870 --> 01:00:08,559 an experience that i've talked about in 1606 01:00:13,829 --> 01:00:10,880 multiple venues when my my mother passed 1607 01:00:16,390 --> 01:00:13,839 away right where she did something that 1608 01:00:18,549 --> 01:00:16,400 we had spoken about before she died 1609 01:00:20,390 --> 01:00:18,559 which was to give me some sort of sign 1610 01:00:22,309 --> 01:00:20,400 of continuance 1611 01:00:24,630 --> 01:00:22,319 um and we don't probably don't have time 1612 01:00:26,870 --> 01:00:24,640 in this show to get into that story but 1613 01:00:31,349 --> 01:00:26,880 she did something that to me strongly 1614 01:00:32,630 --> 01:00:31,359 indicated a persistence of identity post 1615 01:00:34,390 --> 01:00:32,640 post-death 1616 01:00:39,589 --> 01:00:34,400 um 1617 01:00:40,710 --> 01:00:39,599 it was something that i feel she did for 1618 01:00:44,789 --> 01:00:40,720 me 1619 01:00:47,109 --> 01:00:44,799 to address a request i had made of her 1620 01:00:49,510 --> 01:00:47,119 before she died um 1621 01:00:50,630 --> 01:00:49,520 now that to me would suggest 1622 01:00:52,309 --> 01:00:50,640 and again this is the kind of thing 1623 01:00:54,069 --> 01:00:52,319 where you know an atheist hears this and 1624 01:00:55,750 --> 01:00:54,079 immediately he's like oh what are you 1625 01:00:57,589 --> 01:00:55,760 some god breather so you believe there's 1626 01:00:59,589 --> 01:00:57,599 continuous after death that's like dude 1627 01:01:02,470 --> 01:00:59,599 dude slow down 1628 01:01:03,589 --> 01:01:02,480 this this connection 1629 01:01:07,190 --> 01:01:03,599 of 1630 01:01:10,390 --> 01:01:07,200 a interest in in in afterlife afterlife 1631 01:01:13,829 --> 01:01:10,400 defined as some sort of continuity 1632 01:01:16,470 --> 01:01:13,839 after death in my mind has no connection 1633 01:01:18,470 --> 01:01:16,480 to what religion considers to be god 1634 01:01:19,829 --> 01:01:18,480 i don't see why those two are always 1635 01:01:22,789 --> 01:01:19,839 tied together but 1636 01:01:24,549 --> 01:01:22,799 part of that is cultural conditioning 1637 01:01:26,150 --> 01:01:24,559 that's how people have been taught to 1638 01:01:27,349 --> 01:01:26,160 believe these things as far as life is 1639 01:01:30,710 --> 01:01:27,359 concerned 1640 01:01:32,390 --> 01:01:30,720 um if we look at individual human beings 1641 01:01:34,630 --> 01:01:32,400 now that we call a human being a 1642 01:01:36,630 --> 01:01:34,640 sentient being 1643 01:01:39,349 --> 01:01:36,640 but then we see 1644 01:01:41,829 --> 01:01:39,359 that humans and groups start to be start 1645 01:01:43,030 --> 01:01:41,839 to exhibit certain types of behavioral 1646 01:01:44,470 --> 01:01:43,040 patterns 1647 01:01:47,270 --> 01:01:44,480 that seem to 1648 01:01:48,630 --> 01:01:47,280 exist outside of the internal experience 1649 01:01:50,789 --> 01:01:48,640 of the individual 1650 01:01:52,870 --> 01:01:50,799 well is that group intelligence going on 1651 01:01:54,710 --> 01:01:52,880 what is what are those dynamics 1652 01:01:55,750 --> 01:01:54,720 and now if we sort of come away from 1653 01:01:57,430 --> 01:01:55,760 that 1654 01:01:59,190 --> 01:01:57,440 well uh 1655 01:02:01,510 --> 01:01:59,200 the earth is seems to be some kind of a 1656 01:02:04,789 --> 01:02:01,520 closed loop feedback system 1657 01:02:07,190 --> 01:02:04,799 uh stuff comes in from space and maybe 1658 01:02:08,549 --> 01:02:07,200 based on the panspermia theory maybe 1659 01:02:12,309 --> 01:02:08,559 that's how life started on earth by 1660 01:02:14,789 --> 01:02:12,319 something crashing into here and finding 1661 01:02:17,030 --> 01:02:14,799 a a hospitable environment and maybe 1662 01:02:18,870 --> 01:02:17,040 that's how the water got here we have 1663 01:02:20,950 --> 01:02:18,880 lots of theories about these things and 1664 01:02:24,950 --> 01:02:20,960 some are more viable than others 1665 01:02:26,069 --> 01:02:24,960 um but it's it's to me it it it still 1666 01:02:29,349 --> 01:02:26,079 gives us 1667 01:02:31,030 --> 01:02:29,359 i think a working model in that we can 1668 01:02:34,230 --> 01:02:31,040 start to think that there are 1669 01:02:37,510 --> 01:02:34,240 connections between life on the planet 1670 01:02:40,150 --> 01:02:37,520 different forms of life that we simply 1671 01:02:42,309 --> 01:02:40,160 are not in a position to understand our 1672 01:02:44,630 --> 01:02:42,319 science is simply 1673 01:02:45,430 --> 01:02:44,640 not that good yet 1674 01:02:46,870 --> 01:02:45,440 um 1675 01:02:48,870 --> 01:02:46,880 and it's part of it as a limit of 1676 01:02:51,910 --> 01:02:48,880 technology where we rely on 1677 01:02:55,030 --> 01:02:51,920 instrumentation for science we rely on 1678 01:02:57,270 --> 01:02:55,040 repeatability and consistency and there 1679 01:02:59,670 --> 01:02:57,280 are aspects of the study of for example 1680 01:03:02,789 --> 01:02:59,680 particle physics that start to suggest 1681 01:03:05,109 --> 01:03:02,799 that repeatability and consistency are 1682 01:03:07,270 --> 01:03:05,119 not as repeatable and consistent as we'd 1683 01:03:08,150 --> 01:03:07,280 like them to be 1684 01:03:09,750 --> 01:03:08,160 um 1685 01:03:12,390 --> 01:03:09,760 and that by the way is the problem in 1686 01:03:14,789 --> 01:03:12,400 trying to talk about the anomalous and 1687 01:03:17,029 --> 01:03:14,799 that the scientific mind says you've got 1688 01:03:18,549 --> 01:03:17,039 to be able to repeat something if you 1689 01:03:21,029 --> 01:03:18,559 can repeat it then i'm even willing to 1690 01:03:23,190 --> 01:03:21,039 listen to you and the problem being that 1691 01:03:25,750 --> 01:03:23,200 we don't control 1692 01:03:26,950 --> 01:03:25,760 how most anomalous events 1693 01:03:28,950 --> 01:03:26,960 genuine 1694 01:03:31,589 --> 01:03:28,960 quote-unquote anomalous events 1695 01:03:33,829 --> 01:03:31,599 humans have no control over them 1696 01:03:35,430 --> 01:03:33,839 and david i hate to say this because i 1697 01:03:37,589 --> 01:03:35,440 could go on talking to you for at least 1698 01:03:40,230 --> 01:03:37,599 another 10 hours we're out of time but 1699 01:03:43,190 --> 01:03:40,240 alpha has become omega and we have 1700 01:03:45,029 --> 01:03:43,200 agreed that there is just not enough 1701 01:03:47,510 --> 01:03:45,039 evidence well 1702 01:03:50,549 --> 01:03:47,520 can we say certainly that we would love 1703 01:03:53,190 --> 01:03:50,559 to have you back again and talk with us 1704 01:03:57,190 --> 01:03:53,200 again please come back and i wanted to 1705 01:03:59,829 --> 01:03:57,200 say that david also has his own podcast 1706 01:04:02,710 --> 01:03:59,839 which is called the angry human which is 1707 01:04:05,270 --> 01:04:02,720 also a radio show on rockland world 1708 01:04:07,829 --> 01:04:05,280 radio and if you want to give the time 1709 01:04:09,910 --> 01:04:07,839 of that show please feel free 1710 01:04:11,349 --> 01:04:09,920 is it a call-in show too uh it's not a 1711 01:04:12,950 --> 01:04:11,359 collins show though we get a
